HRES 194 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of March 6, 2025, as "Great Lakes Day".

This symbolic resolution (HRES 194) designates March 6, 2025, as "Great Lakes Day" to honor the Great Lakes region. It does not create new laws or funding but expresses non-binding support for the designation and recognizes the lakes' importance to the region's environment, economy (serving 40 million people, supporting $3.1 trillion in GDP), and cultural heritage. The resolution calls for continued preservation efforts through existing programs like the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. It directly affects the eight Great Lakes-bordering states (MI, WI, MN, OH, IN, IL, PA, NY) and their residents.
