Thanking United States Capitol Police officers and other law enforcement officers and condemning actions on January 6, 2021.
Summary
House Resolution 43 is a formal statement expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. The resolution officially recognizes and thanks the U.S. Capitol Police and other law enforcement agencies for their efforts to protect members of Congress and staff during the breach. Additionally, the measure formally condemns the actions of those who illegally entered the Capitol, as well as any acts of violence or rioting.
As a "simple resolution," this bill does not create new laws, authorize spending, or have a direct regulatory impact on the daily lives of citizens. Instead, its practical function is to establish an official record of the House's position on the security response and the conduct of those involved in the events of that day. Following its introduction, the resolution was referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security for further consideration.
