Bill at a glance

  • Title (as listed): Commending Desirae Garcia for her service as a legislative aide in the office of State Representative Jessica González and as director of the Texas House LGBTQ Caucus.
  • Bill number: H.R. 1398
  • Classification: Resolution (congratulatory/honorary)
  • Introduced: February 18, 2025
  • Primary sponsor: Rep. David Rouzer; cosponsors: Rep. Austin Scott, Rep. Mark Alford, Rep. Don Bacon
  • Status: Adopted by the House and reported enrolled (Placed on Congratulatory & Memorial Resolutions Calendar; laid before and adopted June 1, 2025; nonrecord vote recorded in House Journal)

Purpose and intent

The documented purpose is to formally recognize and commend Desirae Garcia for her service as a legislative aide to State Representative Jessica González and as director of the Texas House LGBTQ Caucus. As a congressional resolution of a congratulatory/honorary nature, its intent is symbolic — to express the House’s appreciation and acknowledgment of an individual’s public service.

Key provisions / substantive content

  • The available legislative record does not include substantive statutory language or appropriations. The action recorded and the classification indicate a simple, honorary House resolution that:
    • Recognizes Desirae Garcia’s service and contributions.
    • Conveys the House’s congratulations and best wishes as appropriate for such resolutions.

Note: the version content provided includes an unrelated short title — “Securing Strictly Needy Americans’ Pivotal (SNAP) Benefits Act of 2025.” That appears inconsistent with the bill title and classification in the record. No text establishing SNAP program changes or policy provisions is present in the committee or enrolled records supplied here.

Who is affected

  • Primarily the honoree, Desirae Garcia (symbolic recognition).
  • No legal, regulatory, or fiscal effects on agencies, private parties, or state/local governments are evident from the resolution as recorded.

Procedural timeline and notes

  • Feb 18, 2025 — Introduced in the House; referred to House Committee on Agriculture.
  • Mar 20, 2025 — Referred to Subcommittee on Nutrition and Foreign Agriculture (committee referrals may reflect an administrative routing artifact).

  • Jun 1, 2025 — Placed on Congratulatory & Memorial Resolutions Calendar; laid before the House; adopted; nonrecord vote recorded; reported enrolled.

Impact summary

As recorded, H.R. 1398 is an honorary House resolution with no binding legal effect, no spending implications, and no changes to federal programs. The record contains an inconsistent line referencing a SNAP Act short title; however, no accompanying legislative text or committee reports describing policy changes were provided. If users need clarification, obtaining the enrolled resolution text or House clerks’ entry will confirm the exact language adopted.
