A Republican resolution with 1 Republican cosponsor · See the cosponsor
Last activity — Resolution agreed to in Senate without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S1465)
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
- Introduced
- 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 honors the life of Sergeant Scott Heimann of Hays, Kansas. Sergeant Heimann served his community with honor and dedication starting in 2016. He was a local resident who attended the University of Kansas and graduated from the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center. He was recognized as an Outstanding Eagle Scout in the Community in 2019 and participated in reading sessions at the Hays Public Library. Tragically, Sergeant Heimann was killed in the line of duty on September 27, 2025, while responding to a domestic violence incident. The Senate seeks to pay tribute to his sacrifice and express condolences to his family.
