County proclaims Problem-Solving Court Month, Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and EMS Week
Summary
The board issued proclamations recognizing May 2026 as Problem-Solving Court Month and Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, and designated May 17—23 as Emergency Medical Services Week, highlighting program partners and the role of EMS in survival and recovery.
Hillsborough County commissioners issued a series of proclamations during the May 20 meeting, according to a public recap.
The board declared May 2026 as Problem-Solving Court Month and noted the 13th Judicial Circuit offers a variety of problem-solving courts; the recap credited judges, prosecutors, treatment providers, case managers, law enforcement officers, mentors and community partners for supporting participants' recovery efforts. The commissioners also declared May 2026 as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month to recognize the contributions of Asian and Pacific Islander residents across government, business, arts, sciences, medicine, education and law enforcement.
Separately, the board designated May 17—23 as Emergency Medical Services Week and emphasized EMS as a vital public service that improves survival and recovery for sudden illness or injury. The recap did not include statements by individual commissioners or vote tallies for the proclamations; proclamations are typically ceremonial and do not themselves create binding policy or budget changes.
