Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
This resolution expresses Congresss support for designating a "Hire a Veteran Week" and encourages the President to issue a proclamation supporting that week and its goals. It recognizes the service of veterans and urges employers, labor organizations, veterans service organizations, and government agencies to increase efforts to hire veterans. The resolution is a nonbinding statement of support and does not create new legal rights or requirements.
Concurrent resolutions are adopted by both the House and Senate to express the opinion or coordinate actions of Congress but are not sent to the President and do not have the force of law. This type of measure is symbolic or hortatory rather than a binding change to law.
This concurrent resolution expresses Congressional support for designating a "Hire a Veteran Week," recognizes the service of veterans, and encourages the President to issue a proclamation urging employers, labor organizations, veterans groups, and government agencies to support increased veteran employment.
It cites returning service members from recent conflicts and notes existing federal and state veterans employment programs.
The resolution is symbolic and contains no funding or regulatory mandates.
Very likely to be adopted by Congress given noncontroversial, symbolic nature; note concurrent resolutions are nonbinding and do not create law.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a clear and conventional commemorative/congratulatory resolution: it sets out a problem statement about veterans' employment, declares support for designating a 'Hire a Veteran Week,' and encourages a presidential proclamation and stakeholder participation. It intentionally avoids statutory changes, funding, or binding mandates.
