This House resolution recognizes the service of District of Columbia veterans and calls for D.C. statehood through the Washington, D.C. Admission Act. It also condemns the lack of voting representation in Congress and full local self-government for D.C. residents. The resolution was referred to several House committees. It does not itself make D.C. a state.
If adopted, the resolution would express the House’s support for recognizing D.C. veterans and calling for statehood. It would not itself change residents’ representation or local government.
The resolution specifies no expenses or funding.
