Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
This resolution expresses the House's support for National Child Abuse Prevention Month and outlines nonbinding priorities like prevention, awareness, support for survivors, and calls for more federal investment. It does not create new laws, change existing law, or provide funding. It reflects only the view of the House of Representatives and does not go to the Senate or the President.
This House resolution expresses support for the goals and ideals of National Child Abuse Prevention Month.
It highlights adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), cites national statistics on child maltreatment and online exploitation, names evidence-based prevention programs (including Healthy Families America), and supports awareness, survivor healing, justice, and calls for additional investments and federal legislation related to child abuse prevention and response.
The measure is a nonbinding statement of the House’s priorities and concern.
House simple resolution is unlikely to become law (not intended to); passage in House is probable, enactment as statute unlikely without follow-up legislation.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a clear and conventional commemorative resolution: it provides an extensive problem statement and expresses Congressional support and recognition but contains no binding authorities, funding, or implementation provisions.

Likely to welcome the resolution as a positive reaffirmation of prevention and survivor support.
They will emphasize the bill’s recognition of ACEs and evidence-based programs but press that the resolution’s call for "additional investments and Federal legislation" needs concrete commitments addressing poverty, mental health, and racial disparities.
They may view the resolution as a useful symbolic step that should be followed by specific funding and policy actions.
Generally supportive because the resolution is nonbinding and promotes prevention using evidence-based programs.
They will welcome references to data and Healthy Families America while asking for measurable outcomes, budgetary estimates, and cost-benefit analysis before supporting new federal programs.
They see it as a low-risk, consensus statement that should lead to careful policymaking.
Likely to agree with the resolution’s goals to prevent child abuse and support survivors, but express caution about the language advocating "additional investments and Federal legislation." They prefer state, local, faith-based, and community-led responses and worry about federal overreach or new recurring federal spending without clear limits.
They may support awareness and prevention but resist expansive federal programs.
