HCONRES 72 United States House · 119th Congress

Authorizing the use of Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center for a ceremony as part of the commemoration of the days of remembrance of victims of the Holocaust.

HCONRES 72 is a procedural bill authorizing the use of Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center for a specific Holocaust remembrance ceremony on April 14, 2026. It does not create new policies or affect any individuals or groups; it only permits the Capitol Visitor Center to host this commemorative event. The Architect of the Capitol will oversee any physical preparations required for the ceremony. This is a one-time authorization for a ceremonial purpose, not a substantive legislative change.

MINOR

This is a procedural transition from the engrossed version to the enrolled version of HCONRES 72, which authorizes use of Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center for a Holocaust remembrance ceremony on April 14, 2026. The substantive policy text is unchanged. The only meaningful differences are the addition of Senate concurrence language, an updated date (March 2, 2026, replacing the February 11 House passage date), and standard enrolled-bill formatting including dual attestation by both the Clerk of the House and the Secretary of the Senate.

TIMELINE

The date changed from February 11, 2026 (House passage) to March 2, 2026 (enrollment/agreement), reflecting the time between House passage and final enrollment after Senate concurrence.

TECHNICAL

The resolution now includes 'Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring)' language and dual attestation signatures (Clerk of the House and Secretary of the Senate), which is standard for enrolled concurrent resolutions but absent in the engrossed version.
