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.

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 resolution aims to encourage businesses across the country to voluntarily offer military appreciation discounts. These discounts are meant to honor the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026. The initiative targets members of the Armed Forces, including the National Guard and Reserves, as well as veterans and their families. It invites both small and large businesses to participate in this nationwide gesture of appreciation. The resolution notes that participation is entirely voluntary and requires no taxpayer funding.
