Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This resolution asks the House of Representatives to support designating April 2025 as "Parkinsons Awareness Month" and to endorse research, education, and community support for people living with Parkinsons. It states the House's views, highlights the disease's impact, and commends caregivers and researchers. It does not create new law, funding, or regulatory requirements.
This is a simple resolution acted on only by the House of Representatives; it does not become law, is not binding on other branches, and is not presented to the President.
This House resolution designates April 2025 as "Parkinson’s Awareness Month," highlights Parkinson’s disease prevalence and impacts, and expresses congressional support for awareness, research, clinical trial participation, caregivers, and organizations working on the disease.
The measure is symbolic and makes no appropriations or regulatory changes.
Simple House resolution is symbolic and does not become law; adoption by House likely but enactment as law effectively impossible.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-constructed symbolic resolution: it clearly states the problem and purpose and uses appropriate, concise language to express the House's support for designating April 2025 as Parkinson's Awareness Month. It deliberately avoids substantive legal changes, budgeting, or operational directives, which is consistent with its commemorative nature.
