Message on Senate action sent to the House.
This resolution authorizes using Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center on June 8, 2025, for an event celebrating the birthday of King Kamehameha I. It allows physical preparations for that event to be carried out under conditions set by the Architect of the Capitol. The authorization is limited to this specific date and event and does not create ongoing rights or new funding. It simply permits Congress to make official use of that public space for the described celebration.
As a concurrent resolution, it was agreed to by both the House and the Senate but is not presented to the President and does not have the force of law; it governs internal congressional matters like use of Capitol space.
