HR 308 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A resolution to declare May 2026 as Michigan Moves Month in the state of Michigan.

This bill officially designates May 2026 as "Michigan Moves Month" within the state of Michigan. It serves as a commemorative resolution intended to encourage residents to increase their physical activity during that specific month. The measure relies on a series of "whereas" clauses to highlight the health benefits of exercise and the existing support from various organizations, rather than creating new laws or funding. By adopting this resolution, the House of Representatives aims to promote a culture of active living without altering any existing policies or budgets.
