Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives support for designating May 8, 2025 as National Scam Survivor Day and urges increased public awareness, survivor support, and improved prevention and enforcement efforts. It is a non-binding statement from the House and does not create a law, change legal rights, or provide funding. The resolution encourages federal, state, local, private, and nonprofit cooperation and use of government resources to prevent scams and help victims.
This simple House resolution is considered and voted on only in the House of Representatives; it does not go to the President, does not become law, and is non-binding.
This non‑binding House resolution designates May 8, 2025, as "National Scam Survivor Day," cites 2024 scam statistics and trends, and encourages public awareness, use of federal resources, survivor storytelling, interagency and public‑private collaboration, improved prevention toolkits, and law enforcement efforts against scams.
As a House simple resolution, it is a nonbinding expression unlikely to become statute; adoption in the House is probable but it does not create law.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this resolution is a straightforward commemorative instrument with a clear problem statement and broadly phrased encouragements. It does not create legal obligations, modify statutory authorities, or establish programs.
Emphasis on federal funding and regulation versus enforcement and limited government
