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

HR 398 is a House resolution honoring the late U.S. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston, who died on July 19, 2024. It commemorates her 30-year congressional career, her work on landmark legislation like the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act and the Violence Against Women Act reauthorization, and her advocacy for social justice and vulnerable communities. This resolution does not create new policy or affect any specific group - it is a ceremonial tribute recognizing her legacy and service to her constituents and the nation. As a commemorative resolution, it has no binding effect or practical impact beyond expressing congressional remembrance.
