01 · The brief
Simple ResolutionWhat this resolution actually does

This resolution is a House simple resolution that honors Jefferson Barracks on its 200th anniversary and recognizes its historical and ongoing contributions to military history and national security. It expresses the House's commendation, encourages preservation and continued investment, and acknowledges Missouri's role in supporting national defense. It does not create binding law, change legal rights, or require action by the President. Its practical effect is to record the House's official view and to communicate that view to the public and interested parties.

Passage rules

As a simple resolution, it would be acted on only by the House of Representatives and does not go to the Senate or the President; adoption requires the standard House majority and is nonbinding. The resolution was referred to House committees for consideration but, if agreed to, would simply become part of the House record.

This House resolution celebrates the 200th anniversary of Jefferson Barracks in Missouri, recounting its historical roles from 1826 to present.

It commends those who served there, recognizes its contributions to military history and national security, and encourages continued investment and preservation of the site and associated veteran services.

Passage0/100

This is a House simple resolution (expressing sentiment), not a bill that can become law; it does not create binding legal obligations.

CredibilityAligned

Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a conventional commemorative House resolution: it clearly states and documents the occasion and significance of Jefferson Barracks, and contains only declarative and laudatory operative clauses rather than binding or regulatory measures.
