Concurrent Resolution Celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence
HCR 10 is a ceremonial resolution (not a law) declaring the first week of July 2025 and July 2026 as "Independence Week" to mark Utah's commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It recognizes Utah's America250 Commission and encourages schools, universities, local communities, and state agencies to participate in educational programs, events, and service initiatives during 2025-2026. The resolution specifically urges schools to incorporate the anniversary into curricula and invites counties/cities to become "Utah250 Communities" for local celebrations. It has no financial impact and serves only to formally support existing commemorative planning.
