Formally proposed, and not yet handed to a committee.

Nearly every bill is sent to a committee within days. Introduction alone is not a sign of support, of momentum, or of any likelihood of passing — any member may introduce any bill.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This bill supports the designation of Career and Technical Education Month to celebrate career and technical education across the United States. It recognizes the importance of career and technical education in preparing a well-educated and skilled workforce. The text notes that millions of students are enrolled in these programs across secondary and postsecondary levels. It points out that career and technical education helps meet economic development and student academic achievement challenges. Finally, the resolution encourages educators, counselors, administrators, and parents to promote career and technical education as a respected educational pathway.
