Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
This House resolution honors Reverend Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr., marking the 97th anniversary of his birth on January 19, 2026.
It celebrates diversity, affirms voting rights, quotes King’s Letter from Birmingham Jail, and condemns harassment or discrimination against specified ethnic, religious, and gender groups.
As a House simple resolution it expresses the chamber's sentiment and does not create law; symbolic measures rarely produce binding legal change.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward commemorative House resolution that clearly states its purpose and uses explicit language to honor Dr. King and condemn prejudice. It contains appropriate symbolic language and enumerated expressions of sentiment without imposing operational or legal obligations.
