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 seeks to support the designation of April 10 as "Dolores Huerta Day." The proposal aims to honor the accomplishments and legacy of Dolores Huerta, a labor and civil rights leader. The text highlights her history of activism, including cofounding the National Farm Workers Association and organizing major grape boycotts. It also notes her work regarding safer working conditions and her efforts to elect more women and Latinos to political office. Ultimately, the House of Representatives is asked to support this specific day and honor her contributions to equality.
