A Senate resolution is the Senate speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the Senate agrees to it, it is officially the Senate's word; it is not a law, so the House and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

S. Res. 411 is a resolution to designate the week of September 22 through September 26, 2025, as "National Hazing Awareness Week". The resolution defines hazing as reckless or intentional acts during student organization initiations that create risks of physical or psychological injury. It highlights that 55 percent of college students in extracurricular groups reported experiencing hazing and notes that hundreds of students have died from such practices. The Senate aims to encourage the public to promote hazing awareness and prevention. It also acknowledges that preventing hazing is an ongoing commitment beyond a single week.
