Both the House and Senate unanimously approved House Joint Resolution 4, sponsored by Rep. Angela Romero (D-Salt Lake City) and Sen. Luz Escamilla (D-Salt Lake City), with members of the Sikh community in attendance.

The resolution notes that Sikhism is one of the largest religions in the world focused on "loving service to humanity," but "they have long faced oppression and discrimination throughout the world."
