H.Res. 374 is a nonbinding resolution that expresses support for making Washington, D.C., a state and designates May 1, 2025, as "D.C. Statehood Day." The resolution argues that D.C. residents are denied voting representation in Congress and full self-government, despite paying more per capita in federal taxes than any state. It calls on Congress to pass the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, which would create a new state called "Washington, Douglass Commonwealth" and reduce the federal district to a smaller area. The resolution cites constitutional authority for statehood, noting that Congress has power to admit new states and that D.C.'s population and economy exceed those of several existing states. This resolution does not require funding, establish a timeline for action, or create any binding requirements—it simply expresses the House's position on the statehood issue.
