What this bill does
H.Res. 1511 is a commemorative resolution marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It formally recognizes the anniversary, honors the memory of the 2,977 people killed in New York, at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and expresses gratitude to firefighters, law enforcement officers, emergency medical personnel, members of the Armed Forces, intelligence professionals, and volunteers who responded to the attacks. It also specifically honors the passengers and crew of United Airlines Flight 93 and recognizes veterans and Gold Star families who served in the aftermath. The resolution references existing programs, such as the World Trade Center Health Program and the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, and acknowledges charitable and community organizations that have supported survivors and victims' families over the past 25 years.
The resolution does not create new laws, funding, or programs; it is a statement of remembrance and appreciation. It affects no specific group in a legal or financial sense but is directed broadly at first responders, military members, victims' families, survivors, and the American public, urging continued unity and encouraging observance of the anniversary with appropriate ceremonies.
The resolution was introduced on September 3, 2026, by Rep. Andrew Garbarino with a large number of bipartisan cosponsors, and referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, along with several other committees with relevant jurisdiction. As a simple House resolution, if it proceeds, it would next require a vote in the House of Representatives; it does not require Senate action or the President's signature and does not carry the force of law.
