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.

It notes the League's involvement in supporting funds for the COVID-19 pandemic and infrastructure investments. Finally, the resolution recognizes the League as a key partner in preserving the Federal-local partnership.
