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 supports designating the week of September 21 through September 25, 2026, as National Hazing Awareness Week. It notes that hazing is an intentional or reckless act during student organization initiations that causes physical or psychological injury risk. The text points out that 55 percent of college students in extracurricular groups experience hazing. It highlights past tragedies where hundreds of students died or suffered life-altering injuries due to collegiate hazing. Furthermore, the resolution acknowledges that hazing prevention is an ongoing commitment rather than limited to a single week. Finally, the Senate encourages the people of the United States to observe the week by promoting hazing awareness and prevention.
