AI-generated summary, report an errorThis concurrent resolution would have Congress formally recognize the gap between wages paid to Latinas and wages paid to White, non-Hispanic men, and the effect of that gap on women, families, the economy, and the country. It notes that October 8, 2026, is designated as "Latina Equal Pay Day" and cites Census data stating that Latinas working full-time, year-round are paid 60 cents for every dollar paid to White, non-Hispanic men. The resolution would also have Congress restate its support for equal pay and closing the gender wage gap. It does not create new laws, programs, or funding.
