The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 39 recognizes May as Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month in Wisconsin, honoring the significant contributions of these communities to the state's and nation's history. The resolution highlights the growing AANHPI population in Wisconsin, which reached 194,173 in 2020, marking an 82% increase since 2000. It emphasizes the diversity within the AANHPI community, comprising over 45 ethnicities and 100 language dialects, and acknowledges the historical impact of Hmong refugees in enriching Wisconsin's cultural landscape.

The resolution also notes the historical significance of May, commemorating key events such as the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants and the completion of the transcontinental railroad, which involved substantial contributions from Chinese immigrants. It underscores the importance of educating schoolchildren about the unique histories and cultures of Asian Americans and Hmong Americans, as mandated by the recent enactment of Wisconsin Act 266. Ultimately, the resolution calls for a celebration of AANHPI Heritage Month as an opportunity to recognize the achievements and challenges faced by these communities, reinforcing their role in enhancing Wisconsin's rich diversity.
