The House Resolution No. proposed by Representatives Paiz and others seeks to officially declare September 15 to October 15, 2025, as Hispanic Heritage Month in the state of Michigan. This period is significant as it coincides with the anniversaries of independence for several Latin American countries, including Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. The observance of Hispanic Heritage Month began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week and was expanded to a month-long celebration in 1988, recognizing the contributions and rich cultural heritage of Hispanic and Latino Americans.

The resolution highlights the importance of celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens with Hispanic ancestry, emphasizing their role in strengthening the nation through various fields such as law, education, art, and technology. It acknowledges the vibrant Hispanic-American community in Michigan, which contributes to the state's economy and cultural diversity through businesses, innovative ideas, and community events. The resolution calls for recognition and celebration of these contributions during Hispanic Heritage Month, reinforcing the values of faith, family, and community that Hispanic Americans embody.
