Common questions
Composed from the official record
Where is it in the process, and what happens next?

A simple resolution is the business of a single chamber. The Senate 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 September 21, 2022: Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.

  1. A vote of the Senate
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?

Jon Ossoff (D-GA) introduced it on September 21, 2022. 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.

How long has it been in play?

It was introduced on September 21, 2022, 1450 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 1450 days ago, on September 21, 2022.

Measures do not carry over. Anything the 117th Congress has not finished by January 3, 2023 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.
