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
- Introduced
- 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 supports designating the second Friday in June as National Service and Conservation Corps Day. It recognizes the network of more than 140 Service and Conservation Corps that provide education, workforce development, and support services to young adults and post-9/11 veterans. The text highlights how these corps engage individuals in service projects addressing recreation, conservation, disaster response, and community needs. It notes that the corps are descendants of the Civil Conservation Corps from the Great Depression era. The resolution also connects the work of these corps to the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. Ultimately, the Senate resolves to support the designation, congratulate the existing network, urge citizens to recognize national service, support the continuation and expansion of the network, and recognize the role of the corps in honoring the country's legacy of civic engagement.
