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 July as "Disability Pride Month." It notes that 70,000,000 American adults and over 3,000,000 children have disabilities. The text highlights the historical significance of the Americans with Disabilities Act being signed into law on July 26, 1990. It acknowledges that people with disabilities face increased risks of discrimination, isolation, and inequities despite their contributions to various sectors. Finally, the resolution calls on the American people, interest groups, and affected individuals to observe the month with celebrations and help prevent discrimination.
