HRES 1213 United States House · 118th Congress

A resolution regarding violence against law enforcement officers.

HRES 1213 is a non-binding House resolution condemning calls to defund police as contributing to increased violence against law enforcement officers. It urges better resources, training, and equipment for officers, calls for improved data collection on officer assaults and injuries, and acknowledges the mental health challenges officers face. The resolution expresses condolences to families of officers killed in the line of duty, citing 2021 as the deadliest year (586 deaths) and 2023 as having 137 officer deaths. It does not create new laws or allocate funds, serving as a symbolic statement of congressional support.

Introduced in House → Engrossed in House · 3 edits · May 17, 2024

MINOR

No substantive policy changes were made between the introduced and engrossed versions of HRES 1213. The differences are purely procedural and formatting: the date was updated to reflect engrossment, the committee referral language was removed (standard once a bill passes floor consideration), paragraph spacing was normalized, and the Clerk's signature was added at the end.

TECHNICAL

The version designation changed from IH (Introduced) to EH (Engrossed) and the date was updated from May 8 to May 17, 2024, reflecting the procedural status change.

The line 'Mr. Stauber submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary' was removed, which is standard when a bill moves from introduced to engrossed status after passing floor consideration.

The Clerk's signature 'Cheryl L. Johnson, Clerk.' was added at the end, which is standard for engrossed versions of House resolutions.
