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 goals and ideals of Korean American Day. It recognizes January 13 as Korean American Day to commemorate the first large wave of Korean immigration to the United States in 1903. The text highlights the various contributions Korean Americans have made to American life, including politics, industry, the arts, and military service. It notes that early immigrants faced obstacles like language barriers and economic hardships while working as farmworkers and wage laborers. Ultimately, the House of Representatives resolves to support these goals, urge Americans to observe the day, and honor the 122nd anniversary of the first arrivals.
