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.

This bill has been officially recorded and is now part of the legislative history.

What this bill would do

This Senate resolution formally recognizes the week of November 3 through November 7, 2025, as National Veterans Small Business Week. It notes that the Armed Forces train people with the skills to run successful businesses, and highlights that there are over 1,650,000 veteran-owned small businesses in the United States. These businesses employ nearly 3,300,000 people and account for more than $952,000,000,000 in total sales every year. The resolution also points out that the Small Business Administration hosts events honoring this week. Ultimately, the Senate supports the goals of the week, backs policies that promote a business-friendly environment free of unnecessary regulations, and expresses appreciation for veterans' continued service through business ownership.
