                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding the treatment of State 
    Governors who have made a determination with respect to Syrian 
                               refugees.

Whereas a Governor is the chief executive officer of their State; and
Whereas the Federal Government should not be able to override a Governor's 
        decision with respect to refugees: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That in the case of a Governor requesting that Syrian refugees not be 
resettled in their State (whether temporarily or permanently), no 
Federal official should take any adverse action against, or withhold 
funds from, the State, and no Federal official should take any other 
action designed to persuade or entice the Governor to reverse such a 
request.
