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 supports the goals and ideals of a Juan Pablo Duarte Day. It notes that the Dominican Republic gained its autonomy on February 27, 1844, and recognizes Juan Pablo Duarte as a founding father born on January 26, 1813. The text highlights Duarte's role in forming the secret organization La Trinitaria and his work for the nation's independence. It mentions celebrations by Dominican Americans and citizens of the Dominican Republic, including the 8th annual Dominicans on the Hill conference. Finally, the House of Representatives resolves to support a national day of recognition for Duarte and urges the American people to observe it with ceremonies and programs.
