Nearly every bill is sent to a committee within days. Introduction alone is not a sign of support, of momentum, or of any likelihood of passing — any member may introduce any bill.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced

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 June 2025 as "National Gun Violence Awareness Month" and June 6, 2025, as "National Gun Violence Awareness Day." The designation of June 6 serves to recognize the 28th birthday of Hadiya Pendleton. The House of Representatives supports these designations to remember victims of gun violence. Additionally, the resolution calls on the public to promote awareness of gun violence and gun safety. It further encourages people to wear orange on the designated day and to focus attention on the issue during the summer months. Finally, it aims to bring community members and leaders together to discuss community safety.
