The resolution acknowledges the significance of Choul Chnam Thmey, the Cambodian New Year, which is celebrated from April 13th to 16th and marks the end of the harvesting season. The year 2024 is recognized as "The Year of the Dragon" in the Cambodian Zodiac. The celebration lasts three days, with each day having its own meaning and traditions. The first day, Moha Sangkran, is about ending the old year and welcoming the new, with preparations such as cleaning homes and preparing food. The second day, Wanabot, focuses on giving gifts to elders and charity, while the third day, Thhnay Leung Sakk, involves temple visits and cleansing rituals.

It expresses deep respect and appreciation for the contributions of the Rhode Island Cambodian community to the state's cultural diversity. The resolution also directs the Secretary of State to transmit a certified copy of the resolution to Sophia Moeuy, President of the Cambodian Society of Rhode Island, Inc., as a gesture of goodwill and acknowledgment.
