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
This resolution honors the life and legacy of the late Constance Benjamin Clery. It notes her birth on February 12, 1931, and her passing on June 23, 2026. Following the tragic murder of her daughter, Jeanne Clery, in 1986, Connie and Howard Clery founded the nonprofit organization Security On Campus, Inc., now known as the Clery Center. The text highlights her work helping advance more than 30 State and Federal laws to make college campuses safer.
