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 recognizes the courage of children and families fighting neuroblastoma. It highlights the challenges of the disease, noting it is the most common cancer in infants and a leading cause of childhood cancer deaths. The text acknowledges the intensive treatments required and the potential lifelong health complications for survivors. It also notes that childhood cancers historically receive less research funding than adult cancers. Finally, the resolution supports designating September 3, 2026, as "Neuroblastoma Awareness Day" to honor those affected and support medical professionals.
