Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

The resolution urges establishment of a Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation to examine racial discrimination in U.S. history.
The commission would study historical government policies that discriminated against African Americans, Native Americans, Latino Americans, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders.
Examples of policies to be examined include slavery, Japanese American incarceration, Chinese exclusion laws, Native American boarding schools, and discriminatory housing and Social Security programs.
The commission would investigate how these historical policies contributed to current racial disparities in wealth, education, health care, and other areas.
This is a concurrent resolution, which expresses Congress's position but does not create law or require presidential approval.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

This resolution would not directly change any laws or create immediate programs. If the commission were established, it would primarily affect communities of color by formally documenting historical injustices and potentially recommending future policy changes. The commission's work could eventually lead to proposals for addressing racial wealth gaps and other ongoing disparities affecting millions of Americans.
