What this bill does
H.Res. 1526 is a resolution expressing the House of Representatives' support for designating the week of September 11 through September 17, 2026, as "Patriot Week." The resolution does not create any legally binding requirements, funding, or programs; it is a symbolic statement. It cites the signing of the Constitution on September 17, 1787, along with founding documents such as the Declaration of Independence and figures including George Washington, Frederick Douglass, and Martin Luther King, Jr., as reasons for the observance, and links the week's start date to remembrance of the September 11, 2001, attacks.
The resolution encourages citizens, schools and other educational institutions, and federal, state, and local governments to recognize and participate in Patriot Week by promoting study of U.S. history, founding principles, and national symbols. It does not impose obligations on any of these parties but simply urges voluntary recognition and participation.
The resolution was introduced on September 10, 2026, by Rep. John Moolenaar, along with several cosponsors, and has been referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. As a nonbinding resolution, its next steps would depend on whether the committee takes further action, such as holding a vote to advance it to the full House.
