Encouraging Congress to pursue reforms to ensure that all United States citizens contribute to funding the operations of the Federal Government in proportion to the economic gains they realize.

A simple resolution is the business of a single chamber. The House can adopt it on its own, and it is never sent to the other chamber or to the President.

The record's latest action, on July 30, 2026: Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.

1. A vote of the House

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.

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.

Adam Smith (D-WA) introduced it on July 30, 2026. No cosponsors are recorded.

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.

It was introduced on July 30, 2026, 42 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 42 days ago, on July 30, 2026.

Measures do not carry over. Anything the 119th Congress has not finished by January 3, 2027 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.
