The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure voted by voice to favorably report House Concurrent Resolution 9, which authorizes use of the Capitol grounds for the 40th annual National Peace Officers Memorial Service, a National Honor Guard demonstration and a pipe band exhibition during Police Week.
Sponsors and supporters said the resolution honors law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty and provides logistical authorization for the Fraternal Order of Police National Honor Guard and pipe band events near the Capitol reflection pool on May 14–15, 2025. Representative Perry, a sponsor, and others described recent officer fatalities, including State Patrol Trooper Christopher Gadd, and urged the committee to support the bipartisan resolution.
Several members from both parties, including Representatives Gillen and Rizzo, spoke in support. With no amendments offered, the chair put the question and the chair declared the ayes had it; H.Con.Res. 9 was agreed to and ordered favorably reported to the House. The motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
