01 · The brief
Simple ResolutionWhat this resolution actually does

This resolution is a statement by the House that honors and recognizes the Akron Urban League’s 100 years of service. It does not create new law, change federal policy, or authorize spending. It simply records the House’s official commendation and encouragement for the organization’s future work.

Passage rules

Simple resolutions are acted on by only one chamber of Congress—the House in this case—and are not sent to the President. They are not legally binding and do not have the force of law.

A nonbinding House resolution honoring the Akron Urban League on its 100th anniversary.

The text recounts the organization's history, community services, and partnerships, and it (1) commemorates the centennial, (2) recognizes its local impact, and (3) encourages continuation of its mission.

The resolution is symbolic and contains no regulatory or budgetary provisions.
