Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. 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 recognizes the Operation Green Light for Veterans campaign. It notes that the campaign was established in November 2021 by the National Association of Counties and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers. The text encourages local governments to illuminate their buildings with green lights from November 4 to November 11, 2026. This action is meant to symbolize support and raise awareness about available county resources. The House of Representatives commends the campaign and encourages local participation and member engagement.
