Bill > HR6188

This bill proposes to amend title 36 of the United States Code by officially designating the musical composition "Here Rests in Honored Glory" by Donald B. Miller as the national hymn of the United States. The bill would add a new section (§ 307) to Chapter 3 of title 36, which deals with national symbols and customs, formally recognizing this specific musical work as a national hymn. This designation would involve updating both the legal text and the table of sections to reflect the new national hymn status. The bill does not provide extensive background on the composition, but by creating a statutory recognition, it elevates the musical piece to an official national symbol, similar to how the national anthem or other patriotic symbols are legally defined.
