The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 82, introduced by a group of representatives and cosponsored by several senators, seeks to officially recognize and proclaim September 15 to October 15, 2025, as Hispanic Heritage Month in Wisconsin. The resolution highlights the significant contributions of Hispanics and Latinos to various sectors in the United States, including the economy, arts, sciences, and government. It emphasizes the historical and ongoing impact of the Latino community, noting that they have served honorably in every U.S. conflict since the Revolutionary War and that the Hispanic population in the U.S. has grown to over 62 million, representing nearly 19% of the total population.

The resolution also acknowledges the presence of approximately 450,000 Latinos in Wisconsin, celebrating notable figures such as JoCasta Zamarripa, the first Latina elected to the Wisconsin Legislature, and Judge Pedro Coln, the first Latino elected to the Legislature and the state's first Latino appellate court judge. Through this proclamation, the Wisconsin Legislature aims to honor the achievements of Hispanics and Latinos and recognize their vital role in enriching the state and shaping its future.
