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 September 2025 as National Campus Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The measure notes that freshmen and sophomores face a higher risk of sexual assault than upperclassmen. It highlights that many assaults occur during the first few months of the school year. The text also outlines various issues regarding reporting, training, and investigation protocols at colleges. Ultimately, the House of Representatives seeks to recognize September as an appropriate time for this awareness due to when students return to school.
