Potential effects on citizens and communities
If passed, this bill would not directly impact voting rights or change any laws. It would simply recognize September 2025 as a month to bring attention to and discuss voting rights issues. The two appropriations bills mentioned would affect federal funding for energy/water programs and the legislative branch operations, but this resolution is just about setting the rules for considering those bills, not their actual content.
