HRES 243 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing support for designating Iranian American Heritage Month.

This resolution expresses symbolic support for designating a month to honor Iranian American heritage. It acknowledges the contributions of over 540,000 Iranian Americans in the U.S., including their business ownership (over 33,000 businesses), cultural impact (like the Nowruz celebration), and achievements in science, medicine, and public service. The resolution encourages nationwide observance through programs and celebrations but does not create new laws or requirements. It is a non-binding expression of support, consistent with similar resolutions recognizing other cultural heritages.
