TRADITIONAL FAMILY VALUES MONTH – States findings of the Legislature and recognizes Mother’s Day through Father’s Day as Traditional Family Values Month to raise awareness about the challenges facing traditional families and the alarming rate at which the traditional American family is declining.

HCR 18 is a symbolic resolution designating Mother's Day through Father's Day as "Traditional Family Values Month" in Idaho. It states the legislature's findings that traditional families (defined as married parents with children, grandparents, and extended family) have declined since 1960, citing statistics on marriage rates, household structures, and single-parent households. The resolution encourages communities, schools, and organizations to celebrate specific family roles during designated weekly themes within the month (e.g., motherhood, fatherhood, grandparents). It does not create new laws or policies but serves as a public awareness effort. The resolution was signed into law by Idaho's governor in April 2025.
