HRES 42 United States House · 118th Congress

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee, as an entity of the United States Postal Service, should issue a commemorative stamp in honor of Congressman Elijah E. Cummings.

HRES 42 is a symbolic resolution expressing the House's desire for the U.S. Postal Service's Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee to consider issuing a commemorative stamp honoring late Congressman Elijah E. Cummings (D-MD). It does not create new law or affect any specific people or policies - it only requests the USPS committee recommend a stamp to the Postmaster General. The resolution highlights Cummings' career, including his service as Oversight Committee Chair and advocacy for issues like drug pricing and postal service stability. As a non-binding resolution, it has no legal effect but aims to formally recognize his legacy through a commemorative stamp.
