Commends the Hyundai Motor Company for its decision to locate its first U.S. automotive manufacturing facility in Montgomery, Alabama. Recognizes that the new facility will result in the gainful employment of several thousand, as well as foster economic growth in the surrounding area, and that Hyundai's decision to locate in Alabama is a positive step in improving trade relations between the United States and the Republic of Korea.
Written by analysts at the Congressional Research Service and published on Congress.gov, not by Civibrief. Summarized at the "Introduced in House" stage on January 28, 2003. It describes the bill, it is not the legal text.
Where is it in the process, and what happens next?
A concurrent resolution needs both chambers to adopt it, and is then done. It is not sent to the President and does not become law.
The record's latest action, on February 14, 2003: Referred to the Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection.
- Adoption by the House
- Adoption by the Senate
What is a concurrent resolution, exactly?
A concurrent resolution is how the two chambers agree on something between themselves, such as a budget framework or the date they adjourn. Both chambers adopt it, the President plays no part, and it does not carry the force of law.
Has anyone actually voted on it?
No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.
A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.
Who is behind it?
TERRY EVERETT (R-AL) introduced it on January 28, 2003, and 6 members have since signed on as cosponsors.
They come from both major parties: 2 Democrats, 4 Republicans.
Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.
How long has it been in play?
It was introduced on January 28, 2003, 8627 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 8610 days ago, on February 14, 2003.
Measures do not carry over. Anything the 108th Congress has not finished by January 3, 2005 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.
That deadline applies to this measure too, even though it was never headed for the President's desk.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
