What this bill does
S.Res. 25 is a simple resolution introduced in the 111th Congress by Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND). Its stated purpose, as reflected in its title, is to express the Senate's support for designating January 28, 2009, as "National Data Privacy Day." Beyond this title and the fact that it was adopted with a preamble, the full text of the resolution has not been made available in the materials provided, so the specific language, findings, or details included in the preamble cannot be described here.
As a simple resolution, this measure expresses the sentiment or position of the Senate itself rather than creating binding law. It does not affect private individuals, businesses, or government agencies in a legally enforceable way; instead, it serves as a formal statement of institutional recognition or support for a particular observance, in this case related to data privacy.
Procedurally, this resolution has completed the legislative process. It was introduced on January 28, 2009, and on that same day was submitted, considered, and agreed to in the Senate without amendment, by Unanimous Consent, along with a preamble. Because simple resolutions do not require action by the House of Representatives or the President, no further steps are pending, and this action represents the final legislative action taken on the measure.
