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 Sunday, June 15, 2025, as "Father's Day." It recognizes the importance of fathers in the United States and their roles in homes, workplaces, schools, and communities. The resolution notes that fathers have significantly increased the time they spend caring for children since 1965. Additionally, it urges support for specific policies including universal paid family and medical leave, high-quality child care, and a monthly child tax credit. Ultimately, the House of Representatives aims to recognize the role of fathers and support the designation of this specific day.
