Message on Senate action sent to the House.
This resolution expresses Congress's support for designating the fourth Saturday of June as National Children and Families Day and encourages adults to support and listen to children. It does not create a new federal program, change any law, or require action by the President. It is a symbolic, nonbinding statement meant to raise awareness and encourage families and communities to help children achieve their hopes and dreams.
Concurrent resolutions are agreed to by both the House and the Senate but are not sent to the President and do not have the force of law. They are commonly used for expressions of support, opinions, or internal Congressional matters rather than binding legal changes.
