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 expresses support for designating October 2026 as National Learning Disabilities Awareness Month. It notes that learning disabilities are the most common disability among students served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The text points out that most students with these disabilities were not proficient in reading or math during the 2023-2024 academic year. It highlights that Black and Hispanic students with learning disabilities face greater opportunity gaps than their peers. The bill also states that these students can succeed with proper instruction and support. Finally, the resolution calls on education agencies to keep meeting the needs of these students through a free appropriate public education.
