A concurrent resolution recognizing the duty of Congress to meet the needs of working women.
Summary
S.Con.Res. 31 is a concurrent resolution introduced by Senator Mazie K. Hirono that recognizes Congress's duty to meet the needs of working women. As a non-binding concurrent resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as an expression of the Senate's position on the importance of addressing issues affecting working women in the United States.
The resolution is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been submitted to the Senate on March 25, 2026, and referred to committee for consideration. If passed, it would represent a formal acknowledgment by Congress of its responsibility toward working women, though the specific policy priorities or legislative actions it may encourage are not detailed in the available information. Citizens should note that while this resolution could signal congressional intent on workplace issues affecting women, it would not directly create new laws or programs without subsequent legislative action.
