Summary — H.R. 1525: "Commemorating the 150th anniversary of the community of Barrett"

Purpose and intent

H.R. 1525 is a commemorative, non‑binding resolution that recognizes and honors the 150th anniversary of the community of Barrett. The resolution formally acknowledges Barrett’s history, heritage, and contributions to its region and community life. It is ceremonial in nature and does not create new law, appropriate funds, or impose regulatory requirements.

Key provisions

  • Offers official congressional recognition and congratulations to the community of Barrett on its 150th anniversary.
  • Praises the community’s historical legacy, civic contributions, and residents (typical language in such resolutions; the enrolled text would show the exact wording).
  • Requests that the resolution be included in the Congressional Record (if language to that effect is included in the enrolled text — see official text for confirmation).

Note: The available summary information identifies this measure as a resolution of a congratulatory/honorary character. No substantive policy changes, funding authorizations, or mandates are associated with it.

Who is affected

  • Primary beneficiary: the community of Barrett (residents, civic organizations, local government, historical societies).
  • Secondary: regional stakeholders who may use the recognition for commemorative events, local promotion, or historical preservation efforts.
  • Federal agencies and private parties are not affected in a regulatory or fiscal sense.

  • 2025-06-01: Filed and referred to Local & Consent Calendars.
  • 2025-06-02: Considered under suspension of the rules and adopted by the House (suspension indicates consideration under an expedited procedure typically used for non‑controversial measures and requires a two‑thirds vote).
  • 2025-06-03: Reported enrolled (finalized for the congressional record as an adopted resolution).

  • Cosponsors include: Rep. Daniel Webster, Robert B. Aderholt, Warren Davidson, Randy Feenstra, Keith Self, Doug LaMalfa, Ashley Hinson, John H.

Procedural and practical notes

  • As a congratulatory/ceremonial resolution, H.R. 1525 has symbolic value and is used to honor the community publicly; it does not carry legal force or federal budgetary consequences.
  • Adoption under suspension of the rules suggests broad House support and limited debate.
  • For the precise language and any requested actions (e.g., placement in the Congressional Record), consult the enrolled text or the Congressional Record entry for the date of adoption.
