The House Resolution urges the United States Senate to promptly pass a clean continuing resolution to reopen the federal government, which has been shut down for over 35 days, causing significant hardship for millions of Michiganders. The resolution highlights the negative impacts of the shutdown, including disruptions to essential services such as food assistance, public safety, and benefits for Medicare, Social Security, and Veterans Affairs. It criticizes Senate Democrats for their failure to approve a clean resolution, which has prolonged the shutdown and exacerbated the difficulties faced by Michigan families, workers, and small businesses.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes the need for bipartisan cooperation to resolve the impasse and restore stability for citizens. It calls for immediate action from the Senate to initiate a vote on the clean continuing resolution, asserting that the ongoing shutdown is a result of political grandstanding rather than effective governance. The resolution concludes by requesting that copies be sent to key Senate leaders and Michigan Senators to underscore the urgency of the situation.
