01 · The brief
Simple ResolutionWhat this resolution actually does

This resolution is a simple House resolution that praises and recognizes the centennial of American Legion Baseball and honors Shelby, North Carolina, for serving as the permanent home of the American Legion World Series. It expresses the House of Representatives appreciation for volunteers, the community, and the program's role in developing young people and honoring military service. It does not create law, change federal programs, or require the President's approval.

This House resolution commemorates the 100th anniversary of American Legion Baseball and the American Legion World Series, honors Shelby, North Carolina as the event’s permanent home, praises local investments and volunteers, and reaffirms the program’s role in developing youth character and honoring military service.

Passage0/100

This is a simple, nonbinding House resolution; such measures do not become law and thus have effectively zero chance to become statutory law.

CredibilityAligned

Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward commemorative House resolution that clearly states its purpose and contains appropriately specific operative language for recognition and honor, while correctly omitting implementation, fiscal, and legal-integration detail that would be unnecessary for a symbolic measure.
