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 resolution authorizes the use of the Capitol rotunda for the lying in state of the remains of Sergeant Edgar Brian Torres-Tovar and Sergeant William Nathaniel Howard of the Iowa National Guard. These individuals served with distinction in the 1st Squadron of the 113th Cavalry Regiment of the Iowa National Guard. The specific date for this event will be determined by the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Additionally, the Architect of the Capitol must take all necessary steps to accomplish this under the direction of those congressional leaders.
