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
- Introduced
- 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 the week beginning on November 9, 2026, as National School Psychology Week. It highlights that children learn best when they are healthy, supported, and have their individual educational needs met. The text points out that learning and development are linked to children's mental health, and schools are optimal places to promote it. School psychologists are noted as being specially trained to deliver mental health services and academic support that lower barriers to learning. The House of Representatives resolves to support this designation, honor the contributions of school psychologists, and encourage the public to observe the week with appropriate activities.
