Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This resolution is a House simple resolution that asks Americans to observe March 2025 as Bulgarian-American Heritage Month and recognizes ties between the United States and Bulgaria. It expresses the views and encouragement of the House of Representatives but does not create new law or change government policy. It calls for appropriate events and activities and highlights contributions of Bulgarian-Americans.

This House resolution urges Americans to observe March 2025 as Bulgarian-American Heritage Month.
