What this bill does
H.Res. 1522 is a commemorative House resolution marking the 30th anniversary of the Missouri-Panama State Partnership Program, established in 1996 under the National Guard Bureau's State Partnership Program. It formally recognizes the program's history and expresses support for the Missouri National Guard's ongoing military-to-military cooperation with Panama's public forces, including joint training, disaster response, and cybersecurity work. The resolution also highlights broader ties between the two, including trade (citing $17.7 million in Missouri exports to Panama in 2025), educational partnerships between Missouri institutions and Panamanian counterparts, and the strategic importance of the Panama Canal to global commerce.
The resolution primarily affects how Congress formally acknowledges this relationship; it does not create new laws, funding, or binding obligations. It touches on the interests of the Missouri National Guard, Panamanian security forces, Missouri businesses and exporters, and Missouri colleges and universities engaged in exchange programs with Panama. More broadly, it reaffirms general U.S. support for partnerships in the Western Hemisphere.
The bill was introduced on September 10, 2026, by Rep. Wesley Bell of Missouri, with several cosponsors, and referred to the House Committee on Armed Services. As a simple resolution, it would need to be considered and passed by the House to express the chamber's formal recognition, but it does not require Senate action or the President's signature and carries no legal force beyond expressing the House's position.
