Supporting the recognition of January 9, 2026, as "National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day".

Plain-English Summary

This bill is a resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives that would officially recognize January 9, 2026, as "National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day." It is a symbolic measure, meaning it does not create new laws, allocate funding, or change any existing policies. Instead, it is the federal government's way of formally acknowledging and honoring the work of law enforcement officers across the country.

The resolution would affect law enforcement personnel at all levels — including local police officers, sheriff's deputies, state troopers, and other public safety officers — by having Congress formally recognize their service and sacrifice. It is primarily intended as a gesture of support and recognition rather than a practical policy change.

This type of resolution is fairly common in Congress and is generally considered non-controversial. It has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary, which handles matters related to law enforcement and the justice system, for review before any further action is taken. If passed, it would not require the President's signature to take effect, as it would be a simple resolution expressing the sense of the House rather than binding federal law.
