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 honors mothers and recognizes the impact they have on raising future generations. It marks the occasion of Mother's Day, which will occur on May 10, 2026. The text highlights the historical significance of the holiday and the importance of mothers, including stepmothers, adopted mothers, and single mothers. It argues that various terms used recently have sought to diminish the significance of motherhood. Finally, it calls on the House of Representatives to support the recognition of mothers and encourages Americans to celebrate the women who bring life into the world.
