The Florida House of Representatives has introduced House Resolution HR 8035, which designates September 15 to October 15, 2025, as "Latin and Hispanic Heritage Month" in the state of Florida. This resolution aligns with the national celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, which honors the culture, history, and contributions of Latin American and Hispanic communities. The chosen dates coincide with the independence days of several Central American countries, and the month is marked by various events such as festivals, art shows, and community gatherings across the United States.

The resolution highlights the significant role of Hispanic and Latino Floridians, who represent 27.4 percent of the state's population and contribute approximately $90 billion to Florida's economy. It acknowledges the achievements of notable Hispanic and Latino figures, including civil rights leaders and public officials, and emphasizes their lasting impact on Florida's social, cultural, and economic landscape. By recognizing this month, the resolution aims to celebrate the contributions of Hispanic and Latin Floridians and their integral role in the state's history.
