Bill Summary
Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. A SENATE RESOLUTION celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
AI Summary
This resolution, passed by the Senate of the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, celebrates the upcoming 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. Unlike the 1976 bicentennial which focused on the nation's founding, this semiquincentennial (meaning 250th anniversary) aims to explore the broader American experience and specifically Indiana's historical contributions from the revolutionary period to the present day, recognizing the state's role as a historical crossroads and its foundational principles of justice, public order, and liberty. The resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to send copies of this declaration to America250, the official commission for the 250th anniversary, and the Indiana Semiquincentennial Commission, which is responsible for planning state-level celebrations.
