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 November 20, 2026, as "Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Awareness Day." The text notes that carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas produced by burning fuels like natural gas, propane, gasoline, oil, and kerosene. It highlights that this gas can build up in enclosed spaces from devices such as automobiles, boats, and heating systems. The resolution cites statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regarding annual deaths and emergency room visits caused by poisoning. It also mentions the death of Suzan "Suzie" Marie Hanna due to carbon monoxide poisoning during a flood. Finally, it notes the Hanna family's efforts to encourage drivers to acquire a Safety Hammer for their automobiles.
