What this bill does
Pennsylvania Senator Dave McCormick has introduced a resolution in the U.S. Senate honoring the Penn State Nittany Lions men's wrestling team for winning the 2026 NCAA Division I National Championship. As a resolution of this kind, it would formally congratulate the team on behalf of the Senate rather than create any new law, funding, or regulation.
The resolution primarily concerns the Penn State wrestling program — its coaches, wrestlers, and staff — and by extension the university and its supporters in Pennsylvania. It has no direct effect on the public at large, businesses, or other institutions; its purpose is recognition and commendation rather than substantive policy change.
The resolution was introduced on August 8, 2026, and its most recent recorded action is that introduction; no further action has yet occurred. The official text of the measure has not been published, so its exact wording and any specific provisions (such as further findings or directives) are not yet known. Typically, a resolution like this would next be considered by the relevant Senate committee or brought up for a vote by unanimous consent or voice vote, but no such action has been recorded so far.
