This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for recognizing July 3 through July 10, 2025, as National Extreme Heat Awareness Week and for the week's goals of public education and preparedness. It encourages Americans, public entities, private organizations, and schools to observe the week with appropriate ceremonies and activities and urges continued research and policies to address extreme heat. Because this is a simple House resolution, it does not create law, does not go to the President, and is non-binding.
This House resolution supports recognizing July 3–10, 2025, as National Extreme Heat Awareness Week.
It highlights extreme heat risks to public health, infrastructure, agriculture, and labor, cites heat-related deaths and economic costs, and encourages research, public education, technologies, and improved federal response.
The resolution invites communities, schools, and organizations to observe the week.
House simple resolutions are non‑binding and do not create law; this text contains no provisions that would become law on passage.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this resolution is a well-constructed commemorative measure: it clearly defines the issue, specifies the dates and general goals, and uses standard resolution language to invite observance. It does not and reasonably need not include statutory changes, funding, or enforcement mechanisms.

Degree of acceptable federal response and emergency declarations
Likely strongly supportive: sees the resolution as an important public-health and climate-adaptation recognition.
Will praise attention to vulnerable populations and research, while noting the text is symbolic and calls for follow-up action and funding.
Generally supportive but pragmatic: views the resolution as a useful, low-cost awareness tool.
Will welcome attention to public safety and research while seeking clarity on costs, federal role, and measurable follow-through.
Cautious approval in principle: may accept awareness efforts for worker safety and public health but is wary of using the resolution to justify expanded federal authority or new spending.
Sees risk in language about national emergencies.
