A resolution expressing support for the designation of the week of September 11 through September 17, 2026, as “Patriot Week”.

Sen. Gary Peters of Michigan introduced S.Res. 849, a resolution expressing support for designating the week of September 11–17, 2026, as "Patriot Week." As a resolution of this kind, it is a formal statement of the Senate's position rather than a measure that creates law, funding, or enforceable requirements. The bill's full text has not yet been published, so its specific provisions are not known beyond the stated purpose of supporting this designation.

Because commemorative resolutions of this type typically do not carry legal obligations, no specific group would be directly regulated or required to act. Any effects would be symbolic or ceremonial, tied to public recognition of the designated week, though the resolution's text is not yet available to confirm further detail.

The resolution was introduced in the Senate on August 8, 2026, and its most recent recorded action is that introduction. Next steps would typically involve committee consideration, though no committee referral or further action has yet been reported. Because it is a simple resolution, if it advances, it would need only Senate passage and would not go to the President for signature.
