Expressing support for the designation of the second Saturday of January as "National Desert Day".

# Summary of HJRES 138: National Desert Day Resolution **What This Bill Would Do** This is a non-binding resolution that expresses Congressional support for designating the second Saturday of January as "National Desert Day." If passed, it would be a symbolic measure recognizing and promoting awareness of desert ecosystems and their importance. It would not create any new laws, regulations, or government programs, but rather serve as an official statement of Congressional support for the observance. **Who It Affects and Current Status** The resolution would primarily affect educational and environmental organizations that promote desert conservation and awareness, as well as the general public who might participate in National Desert Day activities.

The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was introduced by Representative Raul Ruiz (D-CA), whose district includes desert regions in California.
