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 independence anniversaries of several Latin American countries, including Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. The observance of Hispanic Heritage Month, which began as Hispanic Heritage Week in 1968 and was expanded to a month-long celebration in 1988, aims to honor the histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans in the United States.

The resolution highlights the vital role that Hispanic Americans play in enriching the cultural fabric of the nation and acknowledges their contributions across various fields such as law, art, education, and technology. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing and celebrating the diverse heritage of Michigan's Hispanic-American community through events that showcase their history, food, dance, and art. The resolution ultimately calls for the recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month as a time to appreciate the significant impact of Hispanic and Latino Americans on the state and the country as a whole.
