A concurrent resolution is how the House and the Senate settle something they do together, such as a budget plan or a joint session. It is adopted once both chambers agree to it, and that puts it into effect; it is not a law, so it does not go to the President.
What this bill would do
This concurrent resolution serves to recognize the work of the League of Oregon Cities. The League was founded in 1925 to provide support, advocacy, and resources to all incorporated cities in Oregon. It has played a role in municipal governance and worked with congressional leaders to align Federal policy with local government priorities. The resolution notes the League's involvement in supporting various legislative acts related to semiconductors, COVID-19 recovery, and infrastructure. Ultimately, Congress is recognizing the League's role as a partner in strengthening the Federal-local partnership.
