Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution formally recognizes and supports National Forensic Science Week, designated for September 20 to September 26, 2026. It commends forensic science service providers for their critical role in criminal investigations, prosecutions, and exonerations, as well as their partnerships with federal, state, and local agencies to maintain criminal databases and ensure public safety. The resolution encourages various groups to participate in activities during this week, including forensic laboratories hosting community events and lab tours, local policymakers issuing proclamations and visiting labs, media outlets covering related stories, and law enforcement officers engaging with forensic labs to improve collaboration. The measure is symbolic and does not create new programs, funding, or legal requirements, but rather expresses the Senate's support for raising public awareness of forensic science's contributions to the justice system.
