hold on there's just too much going on in Congress lmao...
Authorizes Capitol grounds for police memorial and honor guard events.
Originated by the U.S. House of Representatives.
Passed the House.
This resolution allows the National Fraternal Order of Police to host a memorial for fallen officers and an honor guard exhibition on the Capitol Grounds in May 2026. It has passed the House of Representatives and now awaits a vote in the Senate.
Introduced Feb 3, 2026
This concurrent resolution passed the House of Representatives on March 24, 2026. For it to be agreed to, it must also pass the Senate. Unlike a bill, a concurrent resolution does not go to the President to become law; its passage by both chambers signifies congressional agreement or authorizes internal congressional actions.
If this resolution passes, the public will be able to attend a memorial service for fallen law enforcement officers and an honor guard exhibition on the Capitol grounds in May 2026. This would mean temporary structures like stages would be set up. Increased foot traffic around the Capitol building could affect access or views for general visitors during those dates.
Supporters Say
Allows the nation to honor fallen law enforcement officers and their families in a significant public ceremony.
Critics Say
Generally, there isn't significant opposition to resolutions honoring public servants.
Concurrent resolutions like this, which arrange for ceremonial events, typically receive broad bipartisan support. They are usually seen as non-controversial and important for civic recognition.
