Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
This resolution is a non-binding House statement that recognizes and celebrates National Salvation Army Week and commends the Salvation Army’s work. It expresses the House of Representatives' support and encourages Americans to participate in acts of service and generosity. Because it is a simple resolution, it does not create law, does not change federal programs, and is not sent to the President. Its effect is purely symbolic and declaratory.
This simple House resolution only requires passage by the House of Representatives; it does not require Senate approval or the President's signature and has no force of law.
This House resolution designates May 12–18, 2025, as National Salvation Army Week, commends the Salvation Army’s historic and ongoing social services, and encourages Americans to engage in service and support the organization.
It is a nonbinding, symbolic recognition that highlights the Salvation Army’s disaster relief, food assistance, shelters, rehabilitation, and volunteer efforts.
As a House resolution of recognition, it is nonbinding and not a vehicle to become law; near-zero legal enactment probability.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions as a conventional commemorative House resolution: it clearly states and justifies the recognition, sets dates for observance, and offers commendation and encouragement without creating legal obligations or fiscal commitments.
