Received in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
This resolution expresses Congresss support for designating a week as National Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Automated External Defibrillator Awareness Week and asks the President to issue a proclamation encouraging observance. It does not create new law, impose obligations, or provide funding. Instead, it formally encourages public training in CPR and wider access to AEDs and supports related awareness campaigns.
Concurrent resolutions state the collective position or make requests from both chambers but do not become law and are not presented to the President for signature. They are nonbinding expressions of Congressional support or intent.
This concurrent resolution supports designating the first week of June as National Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Automated External Defibrillator Awareness Week.
It expresses Congress’s support for public training and increased AED access and requests a presidential proclamation to observe the week.
The resolution cites statistics about sudden cardiac arrest and notes planned awareness campaigns by major health organizations.
Very likely to be agreed by both chambers given low controversy; but concurrent resolutions do not create statutory law, so 'becoming law' is not applicable.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-formed commemorative resolution: it provides a clear statement of purpose and rationale and identifies the President as the addressee for a proclamation, while appropriately omitting substantive statutory changes, funding, or enforcement detail.

Progressives emphasize equity and funding gaps
Viewed positively as a public-health initiative that promotes life-saving skills and broader access to AEDs.
Likely to welcome federal recognition and partnerships with nonprofits but note absence of funding and equity specifics.
Generally supportive as a low-cost, symbolic public-health measure that encourages training.
Wants clarity on measurable outcomes, coordination roles, and avoids unfunded mandates or vague commitments.
Likely tolerant of the measure as a nonbinding awareness resolution but cautious about federal overreach or implied obligations.
May prefer private-sector leadership and question adding symbolic congressional actions.
