Relating to: proclaiming June 2025 as Immigrant Heritage Month.
SJR 72 is a non-binding resolution that officially designates June 2025 as "Immigrant Heritage Month" in Wisconsin. It does not create new laws or policies but serves as a symbolic proclamation to honor the contributions of immigrants to Wisconsin's history, economy, and communities.

This designation applies statewide and aims to foster unity and recognition of immigrant contributions, without altering legal status or creating new programs.
