Submitted in House

Bill Summary: H.Res.1326 – Denouncing corruption in all its forms (119th Congress)

Purpose and intent

This is a House concurrent/expressive resolution that denounces corruption in all its forms and opposes policies perceived to benefit special interests and corrupt politicians at the expense of the American people.

The resolution frames corruption as a fundamental threat to democratic governance, public trust, and equal political representation, and it calls for actions to strengthen anti-corruption norms and democratic accountability.

Key provisions and changes

Expresses a series of declarative findings about:

High levels of perceived government corruption and historically low public trust in federal government.
Broad concern across partisan lines about unlimited political spending and the influence of wealthy donors in elections.
The harms of corruption, self-dealing, dark money, revolving-door employment between private and public sectors, and using public office for personal enrichment.
The risks of insider trading, foreign licensing deals, gifts from foreign nations, and certain cryptocurrency activities undermining integrity.
The concern that political donations can influence policy through favors such as pardons or policy reciprocity, potentially diminishing justice and public confidence.

States a policy position that the House denounces corruption in all its forms and opposes policies that benefit special interests and corrupt politicians at the expense of ordinary Americans.

Who/what is affected

The resolution is a political statement by the House of Representatives and its sponsors rather than a law with enforceable requirements.

It reflects the stance of the House on corruption-related concerns and sets a rhetorical emphasis for future legislative and oversight actions.

As a measure of sentiment, it may influence committees (notably Oversight and Government Reform) and public messaging but does not establish new regulatory obligations or funding.

Procedural/timeline aspects

Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform for consideration.

Introduced and submitted May 29, 2026, by Rep. Crow (and co-sponsors reps Levin, Ocasio-Cortez, Huffman).

No text proposing specific statutory changes or timelines; as a resolution, it is primarily a formal expression of the sense of the House.

Significance and potential impact

Signals bipartisan concern about corruption and the influence of money in politics.

Could lay groundwork for future oversight investigations, hearings, or legislative proposals addressing anti-corruption measures (e.g., campaign finance reform, revolving-door restrictions, disclosure requirements), though none are defined in the resolution itself.

Serves as a public-facing stance to bolster efforts to restore public trust and emphasize the House’s commitment to addressing perceived systemic corruption.

If you’d like, I can compare this resolution to previous anti-corruption resolutions or outline potential legislative avenues that could follow from this sentiment (e.g., campaign finance reform, ethics rules, or transparency enhancements).
