Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Small Business, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.Res. 1205 is a House resolution that encourages businesses nationwide to voluntarily offer discounts to members of the Armed Forces, including the National Guard and Reserves, and to veterans during the United States’ 250th anniversary year in 2026. The resolution does not require any business to participate and includes no taxpayer funding or mandates. It is aimed at small businesses and major retailers, encouraging them to publicize their participation as “America 250 Military Appreciation Businesses” so the public can recognize these efforts. The measure is essentially a public statement of support that seeks to strengthen ties between the business community and military communities, with special emphasis on areas near major military installations. It was introduced on April 21, 2026, and referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee and also the Small Business Committee for a time to be determined.
