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 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

The text highlights various historical milestones, including the arrival of Japanese immigrants and the completion of the transcontinental railroad. It also notes the diverse demographics and the historical challenges, such as discrimination and violence, faced by these groups. Ultimately, the House of Representatives aims to recognize how these communities enhance and strengthen the nation.
