The Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee passed House Resolution 309, introduced by Representative Mazzi, designating October 2025 as Wine, Wineries and Grapes Month and adding October 2026 through a technical amendment.

The committee chair, Chair Pyshinski, called the item and asked Destiny (committee staff) to read the resolution summary. Destiny read that House Resolution 309 “designates the month of October 2025 as wine, wineries, and grapes month.” The committee then considered amendment A01713, a technical amendment that, according to the amendment summary, “simply adds October 2026 to the amendment as well as 2025.”

No negative votes on the amendment were recorded and committee members indicated no opposition to the bill as amended. Chair Pyshinski announced that, with no no votes recorded, House Resolution 309 passed.

The resolution is symbolic and declares recognition for the wine and grape industry; the committee did not record additional directives or requests for follow-up regarding implementation or funding.
