In the other chamber's committee

Passed one chamber and has been handed to a committee in the other.

The committee decides whether it goes any further, and most bills that reach a committee never leave it. A committee that simply does nothing kills a bill without anyone ever voting against it, so no news from here is usually the news.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. Agreed to by the House 411–1
  3. In Senate committee

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.

What this bill would do

This resolution expresses support for local law enforcement officers across the United States. It highlights the hard work, danger, and sacrifices these officers face while keeping communities safe. The text notes that these officers uphold the rule of law, fight crime, remove drugs from the streets, and protect innocent people. It also stresses that a healthy relationship between officers and their communities is essential. Finally, Congress officially extends gratitude, recognizes their dedication, honors fallen officers, and encourages continued collaboration.

What Congress actually voted on

One recorded vote has been taken on this bill.

  • The House: a fast-track vote, needing two-thirds to pass The House sets aside its normal procedure to move quickly: no amendments, little debate, and a two-thirds bar instead of a simple majority. It is used for measures expected to be uncontroversial, so a bill that fails here failed despite broad expectations that it would not. Passed 411 yes · 1 no
