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 month of May 2025 as Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Awareness Month. Progressive supranuclear palsy, known as PSP, is an adult onset neurodegenerative disorder affecting about 30,000 Americans. The disease causes severe symptoms like cognitive impairment, balance difficulties, and changes in vision, and it currently has no known cure or disease-modifying treatments. The resolution supports goals and ideals to increase awareness, support research for better treatments and a cure, and commend those working to improve the lives of affected individuals. It was introduced in the House of Representatives by Mr. Subramanyam and a group of co-sponsors.
