Introduced Apr 14, 2026
This resolution was introduced in the House of Representatives on April 14, 2026, and subsequently referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. For it to be adopted, the committee would first need to approve it, and then the full House of Representatives would need to pass it by a vote. As a House Resolution, it would only be binding on the House and would not need Senate approval or the President's signature to take effect.
If adopted, this resolution would officially congratulate the Oregonian athletes who competed in the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics and Paralympics. It would also formally recognize the important contributions of their families, coaches, and staff who supported these athletes. This type of resolution aims to foster public appreciation for athletic achievement and state pride, but it doesn't create new government programs, change existing laws, or allocate new funding.
