Summary — H.R. 996 (2025)

Overview

H.R. 996 is recorded as a resolution commending Elizabeth G. Alford for her service as a legislative aide in the office of State Representative Terri Leo Wilson. The measure is classified under “Resolutions — Congratulatory & Honorary” and was reported enrolled after adoption on May 23, 2025. Sponsors listed include Representative Randy Feenstra (primary), with cosponsors Stephanie I. Bice and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez.

Purpose

  • The principal purpose (per the bill title and classification) is to formally recognize and commend Elizabeth G. Alford for her service as a legislative aide to State Representative Terri Leo Wilson.
  • As a congratulatory/ceremonial resolution, it is honorary in nature and does not create or change law.

Key Provisions

  • The version content on record includes a single line that reads: “This Act may be cited as the Paid Family and Medical Leave Tax Credit Extension and Enhancement Act.” No substantive text for either a commendatory resolution or a tax-credit statute is included in the available record.
  • Based on the bill classification and calendar placement, the operative action taken by the House appears to be adoption of a congratulatory resolution honoring Elizabeth G. Alford.
  • No appropriation, regulatory change, or enforceable legal obligation is indicated in the available materials.

Who Is Affected

  • Directly affected (ceremonially): Elizabeth G. Alford and Representative Terri Leo Wilson’s office.
  • No legal, fiscal, or regulatory effects on federal agencies, businesses, or the public are indicated.

Procedural History & Status

  • Introduced in the House: February 5, 2025
  • Referred to House Committee on Ways and Means: February 5, 2025 (note: committee referral is atypical for a purely honorary resolution)
  • Filed: April 29, 2025
  • Referred to Local & Consent Calendars: May 1, 2025
  • Considered in Local & Consent Calendars: May 22, 2025
  • Placed on Congratulatory & Memorial Resolutions Calendar; Laid before the House; Adopted — May 23, 2025 (adoption recorded as a nonrecord vote)
  • Reported enrolled: May 23, 2025

Impact

  • Ceremonial only: no binding legal effect, no budgetary impact reported.
  • Serves as a formal congressional recognition of public service performed by a state-level legislative aide.

Note on Content Discrepancy

The record contains an inconsistency: although the bill is classified and processed as a congratulatory resolution for Elizabeth G. Alford, the version content includes a citation line naming a substantive statute — the “Paid Family and Medical Leave Tax Credit Extension and Enhancement Act.” The available public record does not include further text or provisions for such a statute. This appears to be a clerical or data-entry discrepancy; for details on any substantive tax-credit legislation, consult the companion S. 400 or subsequent official bill text.
