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 supports designating the week of April 11 through April 17, 2025, as the eighth annual ``Black Maternal Health Week.'' The week was founded by Black Mamas Matter Alliance, Inc. (BMMA) to draw national attention to the maternal and reproductive health crisis. It highlights the need to reduce maternal mortality and morbidity among Black women and birthing people. The resolution notes that Black women face disproportionately high death rates and various systemic inequities. It calls for Congress to work toward specific community needs to mitigate these effects. Finally, it urges the passage of the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act to improve outcomes.
