A concurrent resolution is how the Senate and the House settle something they do together, such as a budget plan or a joint session. It is adopted once both chambers agree to it, and that puts it into effect; it is not a law, so it does not go to the President.
What this bill would do
This concurrent resolution extends the work of the joint committee established in the previous Congress. The committee is responsible for making arrangements for the inauguration of the President-elect and the Vice President-elect. It also continues the authority to use specific areas of the Capitol building. This includes the rotunda and Emancipation Hall. The provisions are effective starting January 3, 2025.
