The resolution is non-binding and does not create any legal obligations; it states the House's position and recommendations.
This House resolution expresses support for designating June 6, 2025 as National Gun Violence Awareness Day and June 2025 as National Gun Violence Awareness Month.
It cites national gun injury and death statistics, honors victims such as Hadiya Pendleton, encourages wearing orange, raising awareness, focusing on summer gun-violence spikes, and convening community discussions about safety.
The measure is a nonbinding statement of support and a call for public attention and community action.
House symbolic resolution unlikely to become law; even if passed, it creates no binding law and Senate action is unnecessary.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward commemorative resolution that clearly states its purpose, specifies the date and month to be observed, and enumerates a set of symbolic actions for the public.
