Subject classification: NORTHINGTON, SUSIE RAY (N83WN) — Resolutions: Congratulatory & Honorary

Purpose and intent

H. Res. 1393 is a ceremonial House resolution that formally recognizes and congratulates Susie Ray Northington on reaching the milestone of her 100th birthday. Its intent is to record the House’s appreciation and best wishes for Ms. Northington on this occasion and to honor her personally and publicly through official Congressional recognition.

Key provisions

  • Acknowledges Susie Ray Northington’s 100th birthday.
  • Offers congratulations and expresses best wishes for her continued health and happiness.
  • Contains commemorative language typical of honorary resolutions (recitals describing the milestone and its significance).

Note: The resolution does not create or change substantive law, authorize spending, or direct agency action. It is purely ceremonial.

Who is affected

  • Directly: Susie Ray Northington (the honoree), her family, friends, and community.
  • Indirectly: Constituents and organizations wishing to cite official Congressional recognition for the centennial celebration.
  • No federal programs, agencies, or budgets are affected.

Procedural history and current status

  • 2025-02-14: Introduced in the House; referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and to the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings, and Emergency Management.
  • 2025-02-14: Referred to the Subcommittee (same day).
  • 2025-05-26: Filed.
  • 2025-05-29: Referred to Local & Consent Calendars.

  • 2025-06-01: Placed on the Concurrent/Consent/Commemorative Calendar; laid before the House; adopted by the House.
  • 2025-06-01: Reported enrolled.

Because this is a simple House resolution (congratulatory), adoption by the House is the final legislative action needed; it does not go to the Senate or the President and carries no legal effect beyond the formal expression of the House.

Fiscal and legal impact

  • No fiscal impact or changes to statutory law.
  • Non-binding, honorary recognition only.

Notes

  • Placement on Local & Consent (also called “unanimous consent”/noncontroversial) calendars and quick adoption indicate bipartisan, routine treatment.
  • The resolution serves as an official Congressional record honoring Ms. Northington’s centennial milestone.
