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 urges the establishment of a United States Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation.

It highlights how these actions have created a racial wealth gap and other enduring disparities. The text notes that many nations have used truth and reconciliation commissions to seek restorative justice. Finally, the resolution calls for the commission to serve as a catalyst for progress toward equality and the elimination of racial inequities.
