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
- Introduced
- 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
This resolution honors and commends the 100th anniversary of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA).

The organization provides education, information, and representation to over 20,000 members globally. The resolution recognizes the association's contributions to the golf industry and its focus on environmental stewardship. Finally, the House of Representatives resolves to recognize this centennial milestone.
