By designating a specific week to celebrate these institutions, the bill aims to raise awareness about the contributions of HSIs to the Hispanic community and the broader society.

The bill is non-partisan and seeks to promote unity and inclusivity by recognizing the achievements and impact of HSIs. It does not propose any specific policy changes or funding allocations, but rather serves as a symbolic gesture of support for Hispanic students and the institutions that serve them. Overall, Bill 118 HRES 1437 is a positive step towards acknowledging the importance of HSIs in promoting diversity and access to higher education for Hispanic students in the United States.
