HCONRES 73 United States House · 119th Congress

Authorizing the use of the Capitol Grounds for the National Peace Officers’ Memorial Service and the National Honor Guard and Pipe Band Exhibition.

This concurrent resolution authorizes the National Fraternal Order of Police to hold two public events on the Capitol Grounds: the 45th Annual National Peace Officers' Memorial Service (May 15, 2026) honoring law enforcement officers who died in 2025, and the National Honor Guard and Pipe Band Exhibition (May 14, 2026). The events must be free, open to the public, and arranged to avoid disrupting congressional work, with the sponsors covering all costs and liabilities. The resolution specifies dates, requires approval from the Architect of the Capitol for setup, and directs Capitol Police to enforce existing grounds restrictions during the events. As a procedural authorization, it does not create new laws but permits specific uses of public space.
