In committee

Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. In Committee

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution supports the goals and ideals of "Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Awareness Month". It recognizes that deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolisms (PEs) are serious, life-threatening, but often preventable medical conditions. The resolution notes that these conditions affect up to 900,000 people and cause between 60,000 to 100,000 deaths in the United States annually. It aims to designate March as the awareness month for these conditions.
