Received in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
This resolution expresses Congress's support for a designated National Teen Driver Safety Week and encourages people to observe it with activities that promote safe driving. It summarizes data about teen crash risks and highlights issues such as seatbelt use, distracted driving, nighttime driving, and graduated driving privileges. The resolution is a formal, nonbinding statement aimed at raising awareness rather than creating new legal requirements.
Concurrent resolutions are passed by both the House and Senate but are not sent to the President and do not become law; they are used to express the collective view of Congress or set internal congressional matters.
This concurrent resolution expresses congressional support for National Teen Driver Safety Week, cites teen motor-vehicle crash statistics and risk factors, and encourages Americans to observe the third week of October with activities promoting safe driving among licensed teenage drivers.
Very high chance both chambers will agree on a short, nonbinding safety resolution; note concurrent resolutions are symbolic and not statutes.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-constructed commemorative concurrent resolution: the problem is clearly stated and the simple, symbolic actions (support and encouragement to observe a designated week) are appropriate to the form and scope of the measure.
