Plain-English Summary

The bill would officially designate a musical composition called "Here Rests in Honored Glory" by Donald B. Miller as the national hymn of the United States. This would give the piece formal recognition as a symbol of the country, similar to how "The Star-Spangled Banner" is the national anthem. The change would primarily be symbolic and would affect how the government recognizes and promotes this particular piece of music.
