Passed both chambers, not yet sent to the President

Both the House and the Senate have passed it, though not necessarily the same text.

If the two chambers passed identical wording, the final copy is being prepared for the President. If they did not, one chamber must accept the other's version or the two negotiate a single one — nothing goes to the President until the text is identical.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. Agreed to by the House unanimous consent
  3. Agreed to by the Senate unanimous consent

A concurrent resolution is how the House and the Senate settle something they do together, such as a budget plan or a joint session. It is adopted once both chambers agree to it, and that puts it into effect; it is not a law, so it does not go to the President.

No one's position on it was recorded: the House by unanimous consent (no one objected, so there was no vote), and the Senate by unanimous consent (no one objected, so there was no vote).

What this bill would do

This resolution allows Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center to be used on April 23, 2025. The space will host a ceremony for the Days of Remembrance of victims of the Holocaust. The Architect of the Capitol is responsible for setting the conditions for the physical preparations of the event. The House of Representatives and the Senate both agreed to this resolution on March 14, 2025.
