   This measure would recognize the Lunar New Year Celebration.



   WHEREAS, February 19, 2015, will mark the beginning of the Lunar
New Year, which is celebrated in many Asian communities around the
world, including the United States, and especially California; and
   WHEREAS, California is home to over 6 million Asian and Pacific
Islander Americans of Bangladeshi, Cambodian, Chinese, Filipino,
Hmong, Indian, Indonesian, Iu-Mien, Japanese, Korean, Laotian,
Malaysian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, Taiwanese, and Vietnamese descent;
and
   WHEREAS, The Asian and Pacific Islander American community has
contributed to the social, cultural, civic, economic, and academic
success of the state; and
   WHEREAS, The Lunar New Year is predominantly celebrated by the 2.5
million Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese residents of California; and

   WHEREAS, The Lunar New Year is the Year of the Ram and is
universally celebrated by these communities as a time to feast, to
renew family ties, and to start the new year with a clean slate; and
   WHEREAS, The celebration of the Lunar New Year in communities
throughout California illustrates the state's rich cultural history
and commitment to racial, religious, and cultural diversity; now,
therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, the Assembly
thereof concurring, That the Members join Asian and Pacific Islander
communities throughout the state in celebrating February 19, 2015, as
the beginning of the Lunar New Year and extend best wishes for a
peaceful and prosperous Lunar New Year to all Californians; and be it
further
   Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this
resolution to the authors for appropriate distribution.
