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.

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 celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) occurring on November 29, 2025.

The resolution notes that IDEA established rights to free appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment. It also highlights the role of parents as partners in the educational process. Finally, the House of Representatives seeks to honor those who have benefited from and worked to uphold this act.
