A resolution recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month and celebrating the heritage and culture of Latinos in the United States and the immense contributions of Latinos to the United States.
Summary
S.Res. 428 is a Senate resolution that would recognize Hispanic Heritage Month and celebrate the heritage, culture, and contributions of Latino Americans to the United States. As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a formal expression of the Senate's recognition and appreciation for Hispanic and Latino communities and their impact on American society.
If passed, this resolution would have no direct practical impact on citizens' daily lives or government operations, as non-binding resolutions are symbolic in nature. However, it would represent an official congressional acknowledgment of the importance of Hispanic Heritage Month and the significant role that Latino Americans have played in building and shaping the nation. The resolution was introduced by Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) on September 30, 2025, and remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
