Written by analysts at the Congressional Research Service and published on Congress.gov, not by Civibrief. Summarized at the "Introduced in Senate" stage on May 15, 1986. 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 May 29, 1986: Referred to Subcommittee on Census and Population.
- Adoption by the Senate
- Adoption by the House
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?
JESSE HELMS (R-NC) introduced it on May 15, 1986, and 37 members have since signed on as cosponsors.
They come from both major parties: 10 Democrats, 27 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 May 15, 1986, 14776 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 14762 days ago, on May 29, 1986.
Measures do not carry over. Anything the 99th Congress has not finished by January 3, 1987 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.
