Bill > HCR021

This concurrent resolution, a formal expression of opinion from both houses of the Idaho Legislature, declares 2026 as the "Year of Volunteerism" and launches the "America250 in Idaho Service Challenge," encouraging all Idahoans to participate in 250,000 acts of service leading up to July 4, 2026, the 250th anniversary of the United States' founding. It officially recognizes "Forever Idaho" as the theme song for this celebration, which aims to honor American and Idaho history, foster community connections, and promote patriotism through initiatives like signing a replica of the Declaration of Independence and planting trees as part of the "Liberty Groves: Roots of Freedom" project, symbolizing unity and renewal. The resolution also highlights the use of "Revolutionary Spuds," costumed characters based on the Idaho Potato Commission's mascot, as ambassadors for the America250 in Idaho effort.
