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
This resolution supports designating the second Friday of June as "National Service and Conservation Corps Day." It highlights the work of over 150 Service and Conservation Corps that provide education, workforce development, and support services. These programs engage young adults and veterans in projects ranging from disaster response to public land preservation. The resolution notes the historical roots of these programs in the Civilian Conservation Corps. Finally, it urges citizens to recognize national service and supports the continued growth of these networks under the National and Community Service Act.
