HR 37 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A Resolution designating March 13, 2025, as "K9 Veterans Awareness and Services Day" in Pennsylvania.

This House Resolution (HR 37) designates March 13, 2025, as "K9 Veterans Awareness and Services Day" in Pennsylvania. It symbolically recognizes working dogs and their handlers, trainers, and helpers serving in military, law enforcement, search and rescue, and service roles (including support for people with disabilities). The resolution urges government agencies to acknowledge these animals' contributions on that date but does not create new laws or funding. As a procedural resolution, it focuses solely on raising awareness and expressing gratitude for K9 units' service.
