▶ Show statement of purpose

This resolution establishes the Traditional Family Values Month. The traditional family is the fundamental building block of civilization, generating stability, health, and prosperity in societies. This legislation recognizes the vital role of the traditional family by designating a month to celebrate, support, and educate on its importance. The 1st & 5th weeks celebrate mothers, fathers, and marriage; the 2nd & 4th weeks celebrate sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, and uncles and aunts; and the 3rd week celebrates grandparents. Upholding the time-honored design of the traditional family, we also recognize the unique and significant struggles courageous single parents encounter within our society, and that families serve as an important support structure to help them thrive despite their circumstances. As weeks 1 & 5 celebrate all mothers and all fathers, Traditional Family Values Month is for everyone.

▶ Show fiscal note

This bill does not expend funds, and any recognition by the Department of Health and Welfare would occur within existing budgets. Cost savings associated with a lower demand for government programs and services due to a social commitment to embracing strong families are immeasurable.
