Observing the 20th anniversary of the dates on which Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita devastated the Gulf Coast and recognizing the progress of efforts to rebuild the affected Gulf Coast region.
Summary
H.Res. 664 is a non-binding resolution introduced by Representative Mike Ezell of Mississippi that would observe the 20th anniversary of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which devastated the Gulf Coast region in 2005. The resolution would recognize and acknowledge the progress made in rebuilding efforts across the affected areas in the years following these major hurricanes.
As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a statement of congressional recognition and commemoration. The bill is currently under committee consideration, having been referred to the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings, and Emergency Management. If passed, it would have no direct practical impact on citizens but would represent an official congressional acknowledgment of the hurricanes' significance and the resilience of Gulf Coast communities in their recovery efforts.
