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 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.

What this bill would do

This resolution honors the memory of the 17 teachers and students killed in the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on February 14, 2018. It recognizes the strength and unity shown by the Parkland community over the last eight years. The Senate intends to offer condolences to the families, loved ones, and friends of those lost. Additionally, the resolution honors the survivors and pledges continued support for their recovery. Finally, it expresses gratitude to the medical and health care professionals who responded to the tragedy.
