The resolution recognizes the significant contributions of the Portuguese American community to the cultural, economic, and social landscape of Rhode Island, highlighting their presence since colonial times. It advocates for the declaration of June as "Portuguese American Heritage Month" in the state, coinciding with Portugal's National Day on June 10th, which honors the legacy of Luís de Camões, a prominent Portuguese poet. The resolution emphasizes the vibrant Portuguese American communities across various cities in Rhode Island and celebrates their contributions through cultural events, such as the Rhode Island Day of Portugal Heritage Festival.

Additionally, the resolution acknowledges the historical significance of institutions like the Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Providence, the oldest continuously active Portuguese American church in the U.S., and landmarks that commemorate early Portuguese Jewish contributions to American history. It also pays tribute to Portugal's maritime legacy through the Portuguese Discovery Monument. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of State to transmit certified copies to relevant officials, including the Governor of Rhode Island and the Prime Minister of Portugal, thereby formalizing the recognition of Portuguese American Heritage Month in June 2025.
