Expressing support for the designation of October 2023 as "National Co-Op Month" and commending the cooperative business model and the member-owners, businesses, employees, farmers, ranchers, and practitioners who use the cooperative business model to positively impact the economy and society.

This resolution expresses the U.S. House of Representatives' support for designating October 2023 as "National Co-Op Month" to commend the cooperative business model. It highlights how member-owned cooperatives - spanning agriculture, utilities, credit unions, housing, and food systems - create jobs, strengthen rural communities, and provide economic benefits like lower costs and democratic member control. The resolution specifically acknowledges cooperatives' role in supporting farmers, rural infrastructure (like electricity and broadband), and affordable housing. It does not create new laws or funding but formally recognizes cooperatives' positive societal impact.
