Referred to Committee on Education and Workforce.
This is a ceremonial resolution, not a bill that changes any law. It expresses the House's respect for Coach Lou Holtz, who passed away. The sponsor is a Republican from Indiana. The resolution was referred to the Education and Workforce Committee, which handles such commemorative measures before a floor vote.
Introduced Mar 18, 2026
This bill is under review by a committee. The committee holds hearings, gathers testimony from experts and stakeholders, and may propose amendments. If the committee votes to advance it, the bill moves to the full chamber for debate and a vote.
House resolutions like this one are purely symbolic. If passed, the text becomes part of the official record but does not create or alter any legal requirements. There is no funding attached, no regulatory impact, and no direct effect on citizens.
Supporters Say
Supporters say honoring Coach Holtz's contributions to football and character education is a fitting tribute.
Critics Say
Critics argue the House should focus on pressing legislative issues rather than symbolic resolutions.
Supporters highlight Holtz's record as one of college football's greatest coaches and his emphasis on character. Critics contend that while Holtz is respected, the House's time could be better spent on legislation addressing economic or healthcare concerns. However, such ceremonial resolutions are common and typically pass with broad bipartisan support.
