Received in the Senate and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
This resolution expresses Congresss support for designating July 19 as National Suffragists Day to raise awareness of the women who worked for the right to vote. It is a formal statement of opinion and does not create new law, rights, or binding obligations. As a concurrent resolution, it is Congresss expression of sentiment rather than a law and would not be sent to the President.
