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
H. Res. 1513 expresses support for designating the week beginning on September 6, 2026, as "Celebrate Community Week." This initiative promotes joint community service among Lions Clubs International, Rotary International, Kiwanis International, and Optimist International. The goal is to increase social impact and encourage worldwide volunteer collaboration. The resolution recognizes these organizations for their humanitarian assistance and their focus on improving communities and helping youth.
