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 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 supports the designation of "Serbian American Heritage Month" to honor the history and achievements of Serbian Americans. It recognizes the significant contributions this community has made to various fields such as science, the military, and business. The resolution highlights the long history of cooperation and mutual respect between the United States and Serbia. It specifically suggests February as an appropriate month for this designation because it includes Serbia's Statehood Day. Finally, it urges the American people to observe this month through ceremonies, activities, and educational programs.
