What this bill does
H.Res. 1399 is a symbolic resolution expressing House of Representatives support for designating November 2022 as "National XR Month." XR refers to immersive technologies such as augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality. The resolution does not create any programs, funding, or legal requirements; it simply states the House's recognition of XR's economic and cultural impact and its support for promoting the technology through this commemorative designation.
The resolution cites potential applications of XR technology across various fields, including healthcare, public safety, workforce training, manufacturing, education, and national security. It does not directly regulate or fund any of these sectors, nor does it impose obligations on individuals, businesses, or government agencies. Its effect, if passed, would be limited to a formal congressional statement acknowledging the technology and encouraging its continued development.
The bill was introduced on September 28, 2022, by Rep. Darrell Issa along with several cosponsors, and was referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. As of the latest available information, it had not received a committee vote or floor action. Because it was introduced late in the 117th Congress and tied to a specific month (November 2022) that has since passed, the resolution did not advance further and expired with the end of that Congress.
