01 · The brief

This House resolution expresses support for designating February 21–28, 2026, as National FFA Week, recognizes the National FFA Organization's role in agricultural education and leadership development, and celebrates the 50th anniversary of Alaska’s State FFA Association (19 chapters, 493 members).

The resolution is ceremonial and makes no funding or regulatory changes.

Passage0/100

As a House simple resolution, it cannot become law; likelihood of becoming law is effectively zero.

CredibilityAligned

Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward symbolic resolution that clearly states and documents congressional support for designating National FFA Week and recognizes the organization and Alaska anniversary. It contains the typical level of specificity for a commemorative resolution (explicit dates and factual preamble) and omits implementation, fiscal, and oversight provisions that are not expected for this type.
