What the bill would do, and why it matters
A memorial resolution lets the Senate formally recognize a former member who has died. This one honors Nancy Kassebaum, shares the resolution with her family and the House, and marks her memory when the Senate adjourns.
- NON-BINDING A simple resolution carries no force of law. It expresses the chamber's opinion or sets internal rules — it does not bind agencies, the President, or anyone outside Congress.
- DATA NOTE No Congressional Research Service summary was available.
- Recognizes Kassebaum’s service
The Senate records its sorrow at the death of Nancy Kassebaum, former U.S. senator for Kansas, and honors her public service and leadership.
