In Committee

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution aims to encourage businesses across the country to voluntarily offer military appreciation discounts. These discounts are meant to honor the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026. The initiative targets members of the Armed Forces, including the National Guard and Reserves, as well as veterans and their families. It invites both small and large businesses to participate in this nationwide gesture of appreciation. The resolution notes that participation is entirely voluntary and requires no taxpayer funding.
