Summary — H.R. 1214 (Introduced Feb 11, 2025)
Title: Commending Randi Shreve for her contributions as principal of Campestre Elementary School
Sponsor: Rep. Keith Self
Classification: Resolution (Congratulatory & Honorary)
Status: Reported enrolled (introduced Feb 11, 2025; adopted by the House May 23, 2025; reported enrolled May 24, 2025)
Main purpose / intent
According to the bill title and classification, H.R. 1214 is intended as a congratulatory/honorary resolution recognizing Randi Shreve for her service and contributions as principal of Campestre Elementary School. As described by the title, its primary purpose would be ceremonial recognition rather than the enactment of substantive policy or funding changes.
Key provisions (as expected from a congratulatory resolution)
- Formal commendation and recognition of Randi Shreve for her leadership and service as principal of Campestre Elementary School.
- Congratulatory language typically includes summary statements of accomplishments and expressions of appreciation from the House.
- No change to law, no appropriations, and no regulatory effect — purely honorary.
Notable textual inconsistency in the available version
The official "version content" attached to the bill record appears to contain unrelated statutory language about a military installation (paragraph (a) and (b) below). This text is inconsistent with the bill's title and classification:
- (a) States that the Army installation in Fayetteville, North Carolina, "shall after the date of the enactment of this Act be known and designated as Fort Bragg" and that any reference to that installation in U.S. law or documents shall be considered a reference to Fort Bragg.
- (b) Defines "military installation" by reference to 10 U.S.C. § 2801.
This language would, if operative, function as a naming/designation provision affecting a Department of the Army installation and would have legal effect on how the installation is referenced in statutes, regulations, maps, and records.
Impact / who is affected
- If the title is authoritative: primary beneficiary is Randi Shreve and the Campestre Elementary School community; impact is symbolic and honorary only.
- If the excerpted military-installation language is authoritative: it would affect the Department of the Army, Federal law and records that reference the Fayetteville installation (i.e., naming conventions used in statutes, regulations, maps, and official documents). That would have administrative/legal effects on how that installation is referenced in federal materials.
Procedural timeline and next steps
- Introduced in the House: Feb 11, 2025; referred to House Committee on Armed Services.
- Referred to Local & Consent Calendars: May 16, 2025; placed on Congratulatory & Memorial Resolutions Calendar and laid before the House May 23, 2025; adopted May 23, 2025; reported enrolled May 24, 2025.
- As a nonbinding honorary resolution, final adoption by the House would be the terminal action (resolutions of this type do not require Senate passage or presidential signature). If the military-designation text were intended as statutory change, further steps (Senate action, enactment) would normally be required.
Note / recommendation
There is a clear mismatch between the bill title/classification (honorary resolution for an individual) and the inserted statutory text (renaming/designation of a military installation). To determine the operative content and legal effect, consult the official enrolled text on Congress.gov or contact the House Clerk’s office or the sponsor’s staff for clarification.
