Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. (text: CR S1838)
This resolution is a formal statement by the Senate commending Volkert, Inc. on its 100th anniversary and recognizing its contributions to engineering and infrastructure. It asks the Secretary of the Senate to send an enrolled copy to the company leaders. It does not create legal rights or change federal law.
This is a Senate simple resolution adopted by the Senate alone; it does not go to the House or the President and has no force of law. It is a non-binding expression of the Senate's views and formal recognition.
This Senate resolution honors Volkert, Inc. on its 100th anniversary, reciting the company’s historical projects and contributions to Alabama and the United States, recognizing its engineering and infrastructure work, and directing the Secretary of the Senate to transmit an enrolled copy to the company’s leaders.
The resolution is ceremonial and contains no binding policy or funding provisions.
Very likely to be adopted in the Senate as a noncontroversial commendation; not a statute and imposes no obligations.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward and well-constructed commemorative Senate resolution that clearly states its purpose, provides a detailed historical justification for the commendation, identifies recipients for an enrolled copy, and includes the customary brief procedural element for transmission.
