SR 25-007 Colorado Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Designate March 2025 Women's History Month

Senate Resolution 25-007 designates March 2025 as "Women's History Month" in Colorado through a symbolic resolution. It acknowledges women's historical and ongoing contributions to society, including their roles in civil rights, economic empowerment, and Colorado's legislative history. The resolution encourages public reflection on women's achievements and commits to advancing gender equality, though it does not create new laws or allocate funding. This commemorative measure directly affects Colorado residents by formally recognizing the month for community observances. As a procedural resolution, it has no binding legal effect beyond the Senate's acknowledgment.
