Adopted

The chamber formally agreed to it, and for a resolution that is the finish line: what it says is now officially the chamber's position, rule or tribute.

Nothing more is needed. A resolution is how a chamber speaks for itself or sets its own rules, so adopting it is what puts it into effect. It is not a law, so there is nothing for the President to sign.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. Officially Recorded
  3. Adopted by the Senate unanimous consent

A Senate resolution is the Senate speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the Senate agrees to it, it is officially the Senate's word; it is not a law, so the House and the President have no part in it.

The Senate by unanimous consent (no one objected, so there was no vote): no senator's position on it was recorded.

What this bill would do

This resolution designates March 27, 2025, as "National Women in Agriculture Day." The measure acknowledges the significant role women play in the United States agricultural industry as producers, leaders, and educators. It notes that women make up more than one-third of agricultural producers and contributed to $222,000,000,000 in sales in 2022. The resolution also highlights women's involvement in various fields such as research, manufacturing, and mentorship. Finally, it encourages citizens to recognize and empower women to enter this high-demand field.
