111^th Congress

A concurrent resolution (H.Con.Res. or S.Con.Res.) like this one in the U.S. Congress is a legislative proposal that must be passed by the House and Senate but does not require the signature of the President and does not have the force of law. Concurrent resolutions are generally used to express the sentiment of Congress or to amend the internal rules of the House and Senate.

Bill numbers restart from 1 every two years. Each two-year cycle is called a session of Congress. This bill was created in the 111^th Congress, in 2009-2010.

The titles of bills are written by the bill's sponsor and are a part of the legislation itself. GovTrack does not editorialize bill summaries.
