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 May 2026 as "Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Corticobasal Degeneration Awareness Month." The measure addresses rare, rapidly progressing neurodegenerative disorders known as PSP and CBD. These diseases impact movement, speech, swallowing, and cognition, often leading to dependency within a few years. The resolution seeks to bolster awareness for those living with these conditions and their caregivers. It also supports research into the causes, treatments, and potential cures for these diseases.
