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 highlights the history of Jewish American Heritage Month and the contributions of Jewish Americans to various fields like science and technology. It addresses the rise in antisemitism following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks, noting that many Jewish Americans feel less safe. The text mentions specific inventions by Jewish Americans, such as the slow cooker, the shopping cart, and wireless communication technologies. The House of Representatives uses this resolution to call for actions to counter hate and increase awareness. Finally, it urges leaders to protect the safety and dignity of American Jews in various settings.

What Congress actually voted on

One recorded vote has been taken on this bill.

  • The House: a fast-track vote, needing two-thirds to passPassed 421–1

    The House sets aside its normal procedure to move quickly: no amendments, little debate, and a two-thirds bar instead of a simple majority. It is used for measures expected to be uncontroversial, so a bill that fails here failed despite broad expectations that it would not.
