This resolution officially designates November 1, 2025, as National Bison Day , encouraging the people of the United States to observe it with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Furthermore, the resolution recognizes the bison's importance to the health of wildlife, landscapes, and grasslands, as well as its economic value for private producers and rural communities.
