Effects and who is affected

  • Primary effect: ceremonial and honorary — provides formal congressional recognition of Senior Master Sergeant (Ret.) Ruben Rey Jr.’s military service.

  • Affected parties: the late servicemember’s family, local community (San Elizario), veterans and military communities that value official recognition.

Note on text discrepancy

The version content provided with the bill packet contains an unrelated-looking amendment to the Internal Revenue Code (striking “January 1, 2022” and inserting “January 1, 2032” in section 7652(f)(1), with an applicability date). That text appears inconsistent with a memorial resolution and is likely a clerical or procedural error in the materials supplied. Readers seeking the authoritative text should consult the final enrolled resolution as printed in the Congressional Record or the official House Clerk/THOMAS/ Congress.gov entry for H.R. 1378 (2025).
