In Committee

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 authorizes the use of the Capitol rotunda for the lying in honor of Charles James Kirk. The text describes Kirk as a lifelong advocate for freedom of speech, civil political discourse, and the political engagement of youth. The Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate will determine the specific date and duration of the event. Additionally, the Architect of the Capitol is directed to take all necessary steps to accomplish this purpose.
