That the House of Representatives—
expresses support for the designation of “National Co-Op Month”;
commends the cooperative business model for—
its contributions to the economy;
the jobs it creates; and
its positive impacts on local communities;
expresses confidence in, and support for, cooperatives to continue their successes;
will seek to pass legislation that provides for studying, supporting, encouraging, and promoting the use of the cooperative business model across all policy areas; and
will be mindful in crafting legislation that affects business models that are not the cooperative business model so that the legislation does not adversely affect the cooperative business model.
