Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This resolution expresses Congress's congratulations to Motown Records on its 50th anniversary and directs the House Clerk to provide enrolled copies for display. It is a formal, non-binding statement recognizing Motown's achievements and does not create legal rights or obligations. Because it is a concurrent resolution, it would be adopted by both the House and the Senate but is not presented to the President. It does not change federal law or require action by the executive branch.
Concurrent resolutions must be agreed to by both the House and the Senate but are not sent to the President and do not have the force of law. They are commonly used for commemorations, expressions of sentiment, or matters affecting the operations of both chambers.
A concurrent resolution honoring Motown Records on its 50th anniversary.
The text recounts Motown’s founding, early chart successes, and influential artists, congratulates the label, and directs the House Clerk to provide enrolled copies for display.
Very high chance of congressional approval given ceremonial nature; note concurrent resolutions are non-binding and not laws.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-formed commemorative concurrent resolution: its purpose is clear, and its minimal operative provisions are appropriate and specific for a symbolic action.
