Plain-language change summary

The updated version of the bill officially declares May 1, 2026, as D.C. Statehood Day in Washington, D.C. While the original draft included a list of council member signatures that have now been removed, the heart of the resolution remains focused on advocating for D.C.'s recognition of statehood and the contributions of its residents. This change simplifies the bill by making it a ceremonial statement rather than a collaborative legislative effort, which could help streamline the process of passing the resolution. Celebrating this day underscores the ongoing push for statehood, highlighting the federal taxes paid and the diverse population of the District.
