Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.
This resolution authorizes the Capitol Rotunda to be used for the lying in state of seven named Army servicemembers. It directs the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House to set the date and instructs the Architect of the Capitol to take the steps needed to carry out the ceremony. It is a ceremonial authorization for a specific event, not a law that creates broader legal rights or obligations.
As a concurrent resolution, it must be agreed to by both the House and the Senate but is not presented to the President and does not create binding law.
This concurrent resolution authorizes use of the Capitol Rotunda for the lying in state of seven U.S. Army members who served in support of Operation Epic Fury.
The resolution directs the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House, with the Architect of the Capitol, to set the date and take necessary steps to accomplish the lying in state.
Ceremonial, narrowly focused, historically uncontroversial; high chance both chambers approve. Note: concurrent resolutions do not become statute.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a concise and clear ceremonial authorization that names the individuals involved, delegates scheduling to legislative leaders, and directs the Architect of the Capitol to execute the arrangements.
