Its path through Congress
- Introduced
- 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 designation of March 2026 as Endometriosis Awareness Month. It highlights that endometriosis is a common gynecological disease where tissue grows outside the uterus, affecting 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. The text notes that many women face long delays in diagnosis, high medical costs, and a lack of a known cure. The resolution recognizes the physical and psychological impacts of the disease on daily life, work, and fertility. Ultimately, the House of Representatives aims to support awareness, education, and the need for increased research.
