In committee

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 "National Stop SuiSilence Day." The proposed day would be dedicated to engaging, educating, and activating individuals, communities, and the government regarding suicide. September 25th is suggested as an appropriate date because it falls during Suicide Prevention Month. The resolution aims to address suicide as a national problem and public health crisis. It emphasizes that acknowledgment and discussion of the topic can help end stigma and save lives.
