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 recognizes how important diapers are for infant health and family well-being. It expresses support for designating the week of September 14-20, 2026, as National Diaper Need Awareness Week.

It acknowledges the work of diaper banks and their networks across the country in providing free diapers to struggling families.
