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 honors the life and legacy of Kylie Kupperman, who passed away from cancer at age 19. It highlights her battle with a rare pediatric brain tumor starting in childhood and her perseverance through treatment. The text notes her enrollment at the University of Delaware and her passion for fashion design. Furthermore, the resolution supports designating November 13, 2026, as "Kylie's Day". Finally, it urges support for the "Kylie's Voices for Childhood Cancer Act" and encourages people to wear pink in her honor.
