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

S. Res. 776 is a resolution to honor the life of Kyle Busch. It details his racing career, including his championships, wins across three NASCAR national series, and his time with various racing teams. The text notes his personal life as a husband and father and his status as one of NASCAR's 75 greatest drivers. The Senate expresses profound sorrow over his death and requests the resolution be communicated to the House of Representatives.
