Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives support for designating June 21, 2026 as National ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Day to promote asking about guns and encouraging secure storage in homes. It urges public health, medical, and other professionals to discuss gun safety with patients and families and states support for the ASK campaign and its goals. The resolution does not create new law or require anyone outside the House to act and is non-binding.
This is a simple House resolution, meaning it applies only to the House and is non-binding. Passage would require a majority vote in the House and it is not sent to the President or binding on the Senate or the public.
This nonbinding House resolution supports designating June 21, 2026, as National ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Day.
It promotes asking whether a host home has guns and whether those guns are locked and unloaded, cites evidence supporting secure storage, and encourages health professionals to discuss gun safety with patients and families.
The resolution expresses support for the goals of the ASK Campaign but contains no regulatory mandates or funding.

Relative to its intended legislative type, this resolution is clear in purpose, reasonably specific about the designation and the campaign it endorses, and appropriately light on procedural and fiscal detail for a symbolic measure.
