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 directs the Architect of the Capitol to implement motor vehicle gas price trackers. These trackers would be located in the Hall of the House of Representatives and the Chamber of the Senate. They are intended to reflect the continuous average cost of a gallon of regular gasoline across every State and Territory. The resolution specifies that no appropriated Federal funds can be used for this project. Instead, the Architect of the Capitol may accept gifts and bequests from individuals to cover costs. An annual report must be submitted to leadership in both the House and the Senate regarding the use of these funds.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Continuous Gas Price Information: The Architect of the Capitol would design and maintain a tracker that shows the average cost of regular gasoline in each State and Territory (Section 1(a)). This provides real-time updates on fuel costs across the country.
-
Transparency of Private Funding: The Architect of the Capitol is required to submit an annual report to House and Senate leadership detailing the acceptance, use, and disposition of money from gifts and bequests (Section 1(d)). This ensures that the sources and amounts of private money used for the trackers are accounted for.
Potential Negative Impacts for People
- No Federal Funding Available: The resolution explicitly states that no appropriated Federal funds may be used for the design, construction, or maintenance of the trackers (Section 1(b)). This means the project must rely entirely on private gifts and bequests.
