What this bill does
S. Res. 815 is a simple resolution commending the Chicago Cubs baseball team on the occasion of its 150th anniversary, marked as August 29, 2026. The resolution recounts the team's history since joining the National League in 1876, its play at Wrigley Field since 1916, its World Series and pennant record, notable players and broadcasters, and the franchise's charitable giving through Chicago Cubs Charities. It does not create any law, funding, or regulatory change.
The resolution is symbolic and affects no specific group directly; it formally expresses the Senate's recognition of the team, its players, staff, and fans. It was sponsored by Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL), with Sen. Tammy Duckworth as a cosponsor.
The resolution was introduced in the Senate on July 23, 2026, referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and then agreed to by the full Senate without amendment (with an amended preamble) by unanimous consent on August 7, 2026.
