Anti-Communism Week Act

# Anti-Communism Week Act (HR 6540) Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Anti-Communism Week Act would establish an official national observance week dedicated to commemorating anti-communism. If passed, the bill would designate a specific week each year for Americans to recognize and reflect on the history and impact of communism, particularly its effects on people who have fled communist-controlled countries or experienced communist regimes. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** This legislation would primarily affect how the federal government recognizes historical commemorations. The bill encourages public awareness and education about communism's historical record.

It would not create any new government agencies or enforcement mechanisms, but rather would ask the President to issue a proclamation recognizing the designated week and encourage Americans to observe it through appropriate ceremonies and activities. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been referred to the appropriate House committee for review and discussion but has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. To become law, it would need to pass out of committee, be voted on and approved by the House, then undergo the same process in the Senate before being signed by the President.
