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 House Resolution recognizes January 2025 as National Mentoring Month. It highlights the positive impacts of mentoring relationships, such as improving academic achievement, supporting career exploration, and helping vulnerable populations. The text points out a mentoring gap where one in three young people grow up without a mentor outside the home. Finally, the resolution officially encourages the creation and expansion of quality mentoring programs across the United States.
