01 · The brief
Simple ResolutionWhat this resolution actually does

This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for designating February 21 through February 28, 2026, as National FFA Week, recognizes the National Future Farmers of America Organization's role in developing student leaders, and celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Alaska State FFA Association. It is a formal statement of the House's views and does not create binding law or change federal programs. The resolution highlights FFA membership, teachers, and the organization's educational mission.

Passage rules

This is a simple resolution acted on only by the House; it does not become law, is not sent to the President, and carries no binding legal effect.

This House resolution expresses support for designating February 21–28, 2026, as National FFA Week, recognizes the National FFA Organization's role in agricultural education and leadership development, and celebrates the 50th anniversary of Alaska’s State FFA Association (19 chapters, 493 members).

The resolution is ceremonial and makes no funding or regulatory changes.

Passage0/100

As a House simple resolution, it cannot become law; likelihood of becoming law is effectively zero.

CredibilityAligned

Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward symbolic resolution that clearly states and documents congressional support for designating National FFA Week and recognizes the organization and Alaska anniversary. It contains the typical level of specificity for a commemorative resolution (explicit dates and factual preamble) and omits implementation, fiscal, and oversight provisions that are not expected for this type.
