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 designating June as Family Month. It points out that the traditional nuclear family is the foundation of a healthy society and that children thrive best with a married mother and father. The text notes issues like high divorce rates, a declining birth rate, and policies that penalize marriage. It states that June was previously declared as Pride Month, which it claims rejects the importance of marriage and family. Finally, the resolution states that the House of Representatives recognizes the benefits of marriage and family, no longer recognizes Pride Month, and supports designating June as Family Month.
