HR 46 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A resolution to declare March 22, 2025, as Michigan Water Day and World Water Day in the state of Michigan.

This resolution (HR 46) designates March 22, 2025, as "Michigan Water Day" and recognizes the existing global observance of World Water Day within Michigan. It commemorates Michigan's water heritage, including glaciers' role in shaping the state's freshwater resources and the importance of protecting the Great Lakes. The resolution aims to raise public awareness about preserving clean water and preventing pollution, but it does not create new laws or funding. As a symbolic gesture, it has no direct legal effect on policy or resources.
