The resolution urges Congress to hold a joint session at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on July 2, 2026, to commemorate the semiquincentennial (250th anniversary) of the Declaration of Independence. This event is significant as Independence Hall is the historic site where the Declaration was approved by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, marking the official severance of the 13 colonies from British rule. The resolution highlights New Jersey's crucial role in the American Revolution, noting its strategic location and the numerous military engagements that took place within the state during the conflict.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of this commemoration, not only as a celebration of the Declaration of Independence but also as a recognition of the historical significance of the events that unfolded in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey during the Revolutionary War. It calls for Congress to approve House Congressional Resolution 115, which would facilitate this joint session, and directs that copies of the resolution be sent to key congressional leaders and representatives from New Jersey.
