Recognizing the essential work of the National League of Cities.

HRES 1070 is a resolution passed by the U.S. House of Representatives to formally recognize the National League of Cities (NLC) for its century-long advocacy on behalf of municipal governments. The resolution highlights the NLC's historical role in shaping key federal policies, including the creation of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Unfunded Mandate Reform Act, which directly impacted how cities receive federal funding and implement regulations. This symbolic resolution does not create new laws or obligations but affirms the NLC's ongoing partnership with Congress to support local governments in federal decision-making processes. It specifically acknowledges the NLC's work representing over 19,000 cities, towns, and villages serving more than 218 million residents.
