Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This resolution is a simple House resolution that expresses the House of Representatives' views and recognizes the Battle of San Jacinto and its anniversary. It does not create new law, change rights, or impose legal obligations. It is a non-binding statement intended to honor those who fought and encourage reflection on freedom and history.
As a House simple resolution, it is considered and voted on only in the House and would pass by a simple majority; it is not sent to the President and does not have the force of law.
This House resolution expresses support for the goals and ideals of San Jacinto Day, recognizing April 21, 1836, when Texan forces under General Sam Houston defeated the Mexican Army and secured Texas independence.
It honors the bravery of those who fought in the Texas Revolution and encourages Americans to reflect on freedom and the spirit of those who defend it.
The resolution is commemorative and non-binding.
House simple resolutions do not create law; adoption by House is likely but becoming federal law is effectively implausible.
