General Provisions - Commemorative Months - Muslim American Heritage and Jewish American Heritage Months

HB 899 requires Maryland's Governor to annually proclaim January as Muslim American Heritage Month and May as Jewish American Heritage Month. The bill mandates these proclamations to recognize the contributions of Maryland's Muslim and Jewish communities, respectively, and urges educational and cultural organizations to host programs during these months. This procedural bill does not create new funding or obligations but establishes a formal recognition process for these heritage months, effective October 1, 2025.
