In committee

Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. In 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 concurrent resolution expresses support for America's law enforcement professionals. It recognizes the risks taken by more than 840,000 officers and honors those who have died or been injured in the line of duty. The text notes a reduction in crime alongside rising officer assault rates and high suicide rates among personnel. It calls for increased measures to maximize the safety and well-being of these officers. Finally, it urges all levels of government to provide the necessary support and resources to keep the country safe.
