Relating to: celebrating the 52nd anniversary of the American Birkebeiner and proclaiming February 16 to 22, 2026, as American Birkebeiner Week in Wisconsin.
This is a ceremonial resolution, not a policy bill. It formally proclaims February 16-22, 2026, as "American Birkebeiner Week" in Wisconsin to mark the 52nd anniversary of the American Birkebeiner ski race. The resolution recognizes the event's significance as North America's largest cross-country ski race, its economic impact on Sawyer and Bayfield Counties, and its role in promoting outdoor recreation. It directs the Senate clerk to provide a copy to the American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation, the nonprofit organizing the event. No new policies, funding, or legal obligations are created.
