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.

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 designating the week of September 14 through September 18, 2026, as National Clean Energy Week. It highlights that clean energy powers more homes and businesses, serves as a growing part of the economy, and drives economic growth. The text notes that the energy and energy efficiency sectors employed about 8,500,000 individuals at the end of 2024. It also points out that clean energy jobs are local and cannot be outsourced due to onsite construction, installation, and maintenance. Finally, the resolution encourages investments in clean energy technologies, supports reliable and affordable energy, and recognizes the role of entrepreneurs and small businesses.
