In memory of U.S. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston.

HR 232 is a commemorative resolution honoring the late U.S. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston, who died on July 19, 2024. The resolution recognizes her 14-term congressional service (1994-2024), her sponsorship of landmark legislation like the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act and H.R. 40 (reparations study), and her advocacy for social justice, voting rights, and community support in Houston. As a memorial resolution, it has no policy impact or direct effect on constituents - it serves solely to honor her legacy. This procedural resolution was filed in February 2025 and referred to the Local & Consent Calendars.
