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

It highlights that this was the program's first NCAA National Championship title in women's basketball. The text acknowledges Head Coach Cori Close and several senior players for their roles in the victory. Finally, the Senate requests that an enrolled copy of the resolution be sent to the UCLA Chancellor, the Head Coach, and the UCLA Athletic Director.
