in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

After June 16, 1933, the Commission cannot start a new investigation just because Congress passed a resolution. Only one kind of resolution can trigger a new investigation. It must be a concurrent resolution passed by both the House and the Senate.

This is a short, one-part rule. After June 16, 1933, the Commission may not begin a new investigation based on a legislative resolution alone. The only exception is a "concurrent resolution" — a resolution that both the House of Representatives and the Senate have passed. A resolution from just one chamber is not enough to start a new investigation.
