House Concurrent Resolution No. 22, introduced by the State Affairs Committee, declares 2026 as the Year of Volunteerism and the America250 in Idaho Service Challenge. The resolution emphasizes the importance of promoting awareness of the principles found in the nation's founding documents, encouraging Idahoans to reflect on American history, and fostering community connections. As part of the America250 initiative, Idaho aims to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday by engaging families and students in meaningful activities, including the collection of signatures for a replica of the Declaration of Independence displayed in the state capitol.

Additionally, the resolution recognizes "Forever Idaho" as the official theme song for the America250 in Idaho ambassadors, represented by the Revolutionary Spud characters, which aim to make history engaging and accessible for all ages. The Idaho Legislature invites all residents to participate in the America250 initiative by performing 250,000 acts of service from January to July 4, 2026, and encourages them to sign the replica of the Declaration of Independence as a testament to their patriotism and commitment to community service.
