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 celebrates the historical accomplishments of Title IX, also known as the Patsy Takemoto Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act. It recognizes how the law has increased educational and athletic opportunities for women and girls over the last 54 years. The text highlights ongoing challenges such as sexual harassment, barriers for pregnant students, and unequal athletic resources. It further addresses concerns regarding the Trump administration's actions regarding Title IX enforcement and the transfer of responsibilities to the Department of Justice. Ultimately, the resolution calls upon the executive branch to protect students from discrimination based on sex, gender identity, and pregnancy.
