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 June 21, 2025, as National ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Day. It highlights the dangers of unsecured guns in homes where children live or visit. The text points out that firearm-related deaths are the leading cause of death for children in the United States. It encourages parents to ask if there is a gun in a home before their children visit. The measure also urges public health and medical professionals to talk about gun safety and safe storage with families. Ultimately, the House of Representatives supports the goals of National ASK Day to protect kids.
