Idaho Bills

States findings of the Legislature and recognizes Mother's Day through Father's Day as Traditional Family Values Month to raise awareness about the challenges facing traditional families and the alarming rate at which the traditional American family is declining.

This resolution establishes the Traditional Family Values Month. The traditional family is the fundamental building block of civilization, generating stability, health, and prosperity in societies. This legislation recognizes the vital role of the traditional family by designating a month to celebrate, support, and educate on its importance. The 1st & 5th weeks celebrate mothers, fathers, and marriage; the 2nd & 4th weeks celebrate sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, and uncles and aunts; and the 3rd week celebrates grandparents. Upholding the time-honored design of the traditional family, we also recognize the unique and significant struggles courageous single parents encounter within our society, and that families serve as an important support structure to help them thrive despite their circumstances. As weeks 1 & 5 celebrate all mothers and all fathers, Traditional Family Values Month is for everyone.
