resolving clause

Read a random definition: graffer

A quick definition of resolving clause:

A resolving clause is a part of a resolution that introduces the operative text, usually starting with the words "Resolved, That...." It is similar to a statute's enacting clause and is not just a recital or preamble.

A more thorough explanation:

A resolving clause is a part of a resolution that introduces the operative text. It usually starts with the words "Resolved, That...." This clause is similar to a statute's enacting clause.

  • A city council passes a resolution to ban single-use plastic bags. The resolving clause of the resolution would be "Resolved, That the city council hereby bans the use of single-use plastic bags within city limits."
  • A student government association passes a resolution to increase funding for mental health resources on campus. The resolving clause of the resolution would be "Resolved, That the student government association allocates additional funds to improve mental health resources on campus."

These examples illustrate how the resolving clause introduces the operative text of a resolution. It clearly states the action that is being taken or the decision that is being made.
