Purpose and intent

H. Res. 1121 is a non‑binding, honorary resolution that formally commends and recognizes the members of the Texas Legislative Internship Program Class of the 89th Texas Legislature.

  • Contains ceremonial language honoring the interns; it does not create legal rights, obligations, or appropriations.
