What this bill does
S.Res. 813 is a Senate resolution designating July 25, 2026, as “National Day of the American Cowboy.” As a simple resolution, it is a formal expression of the Senate's sentiment rather than a law; it does not create new legal requirements, spending, or regulations, and it does not require action by the House of Representatives or the President.
The full text of the resolution, including any preamble language explaining the reasoning behind the designation, has not been made available beyond the title. Based on the stated purpose, the resolution is intended to recognize and honor the American cowboy and its associated history and culture. It does not appear to directly affect specific individuals, industries, or government programs beyond this symbolic recognition, though the detailed preamble (not yet published) may include additional context, such as historical or cultural references tied to the sponsor's home state of Wyoming.
Procedurally, the resolution was introduced by Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) on July 23, 2026, and was submitted, considered, and agreed to that same day by unanimous consent, with a preamble. Because simple resolutions apply only to the Senate and do not go to the President for signature, this action completes the legislative process for S.Res. 813. No further steps are required or anticipated.
