Establishing the Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump.
Latest action. Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
This resolution establishes in the House of Representatives the Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump.
With regards to the attempted assassination on July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania, the task force shall investigate and fully examine all actions by any (1) federal agency, department, officer, or employee; (2) state or local government, including state and local law enforcement; and (3) private entities or individuals.
The task force shall consist of not more than 11 Members of the House appointed by the Speaker, not more than 5 of whom shall be appointed after consultation with the minority leader.
The resolution gives the task force specified powers, including the authority to take depositions and issue subpoenas. It also requires House committees to transfer relevant records to the task force within seven days of the resolution's adoption.
The task force must issue a final report on its findings no later than December 13, 2024, including any recommendations for legislative changes needed to prevent future security lapses.

Where is it in the process, and what happens next?
The latest action on file does not map to a stage Civibrief recognizes, so the page will not name one. The record's own words are the reliable fact here.
The record's latest action, on July 24, 2024: Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
What is a simple resolution, exactly?
A simple resolution concerns one chamber only, such as its own rules or an expression of its opinion. The other chamber and the President play 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?
Mike Kelly (R-PA) introduced it on July 22, 2024, and 37 members have since signed on as cosponsors.
They come from both major parties: 2 Democrats, 35 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 July 22, 2024, 780 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 778 days ago, on July 24, 2024.
Measures do not carry over. Anything the 118th Congress has not finished by January 3, 2025 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.
