What this bill does
S.Res. 827 is a Senate resolution marking the 100th anniversary of the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute, Inc. (SAAMI), a private industry organization founded in 1926 to develop technical standards for the safety, interchangeability, and reliability of firearms, ammunition, suppressors, and related components. The resolution recites SAAMI's history, including its work with government and military bodies, its collaboration with domestic and international standards organizations such as ANSI and the CIP, and its past support for wildlife conservation research. It formally recognizes the anniversary, commends SAAMI for its standard-setting work, acknowledges its role in promoting safety and industry practices, encourages continued cooperation among industry, government, and scientific groups, and honors individuals who contributed to SAAMI's work.
As a simple resolution, this measure does not create, change, or repeal any law, regulation, or funding; it has no direct legal or financial effect. It primarily concerns SAAMI itself and, more broadly, the firearms and ammunition manufacturing industry, whose standards it praises. The resolution does not impose obligations on private citizens, businesses, or government agencies.
The resolution was introduced by Senator James Risch on July 30, 2026, and referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. For it to have any formal effect, the committee would need to act on it and the full Senate would need to pass it; commemorative resolutions of this kind typically do not require presidential signature and are often adopted without extensive floor debate.
