Condemning the inaction by the Islamic Republic of Iran in addressing the poisoning of Iranian schoolgirls, the Daughters of the Iranian Revolution.

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 April 20, 2023: Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

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.

SHEILA JACKSON LEE (D-TX) introduced it on April 20, 2023, and 44 members have since signed on as cosponsors.

They come from both major parties: 31 Democrats, 13 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.

It was introduced on April 20, 2023, 1239 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 1239 days ago, on April 20, 2023.

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.
