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.

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 is intended to support the goals and ideals of National Women's History Month. The House of Representatives recognizes March 2025 as National Women's History Month. The theme for this year is "Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations." Through this resolution, the House aims to honor women and organizations that have fought for and continue to promote the teaching of women's history.
