Expressing support for the designation of the month of May 2026 as "Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Corticobasal Degeneration Awareness Month".
Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This resolution is a statement by the House supporting the designation of May 2026 as Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Corticobasal Degeneration Awareness Month. It does not create new laws, authorize spending, or require federal agencies to take action. The text expresses support for research, recognition, and awareness, and it commends people and organizations working on these diseases. The effect is symbolic and meant to raise public awareness and encourage voluntary activities.
This is a simple resolution acted on by the House alone and does not go to the President or become law. It is non-binding and carries no legal force.
A House resolution expressing support for designating May 2026 as "Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Corticobasal Degeneration Awareness Month," recognizing disease features and community impacts, endorsing research on diagnosis and treatments, and commending affected individuals, caregivers, researchers, and clinicians.
The resolution is symbolic and does not appropriate funds or create new programs.
Very likely to pass the House as a resolution but H.Res. does not create binding law; becoming statutory law is unlikely absent separate bill.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward commemorative House resolution that clearly defines the awareness purpose and names a specific month, while appropriately avoiding substantive legal changes or funding commitments.
Progressive seeks concrete funding and equity measures

Why the argument around this bill splits.
Progressive seeks concrete funding and equity measures
Generally supportive of the awareness designation and its emphasis on research and caregiver needs.
Views the resolution as a positive step but would prefer explicit commitments to funding, equitable access, and research priorities aimed at care and cures.
Supportive of a nonbinding resolution that raises awareness and encourages research, while noting it lacks specifics on funding, metrics, or implementation.
Sees value in honoring affected families and clinicians but wants clarity on next steps and fiscal implications.
Likely to view the resolution as a benign, sympathetic symbolic recognition of patients and caregivers.
Some concern may exist about federal overreach if expectations shift toward new spending or mandates, but the nonbinding nature reduces opposition.
