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 expresses support for recognizing September 27, 2026, to October 3, 2026, as Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions Week. It marks the 19th anniversary of the formal recognition and funding of these institutions by Congress. The text notes that these schools enroll nearly half of all Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander undergraduate students in the United States and its territories. It highlights their role in supporting low-income and first-generation college students, employing faculty, and preserving diverse cultures and histories. Finally, the House of Representatives calls on the public to observe the week with appropriate activities and ceremonies.
