The Wisconsin Legislature has introduced Assembly Joint Resolution 83, which recognizes the period from September 15 to October 15, 2025, as Hispanic Heritage Month in the state. This resolution highlights the historical presence of Hispanic and Latino communities in Wisconsin, noting their settlement prior to statehood and the significant migration from Central and South America in the 20th century, which has contributed to the state's agricultural economy. Currently, over 450,000 Hispanics and Latinos reside in Wisconsin, making them one of the fastest-growing demographic groups and playing vital roles in both rural and urban communities.

The resolution also acknowledges the contributions of Hispanics and Latinos in various capacities, including public service and military service, emphasizing their importance in shaping the state's history and future. By designating this month, the Wisconsin Legislature aims to honor and celebrate the rich cultural heritage and achievements of Hispanic and Latino individuals in the state.
