Summary
SR534 is a resolution that expresses support for recognizing January as 'Muslim-American Heritage Month.' The bill aims to celebrate and honor the significant contributions of Muslim Americans to the cultural, economic, and social landscape of the United States. This month serves as an opportunity to reflect on the diverse heritage and experiences of over 3.4 million Muslims living in America and their integral role in enriching the nation’s fabric.
