A Senate resolution is the Senate speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the Senate agrees to it, it is officially the Senate's word; it is not a law, so the House and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution designates November 2025 as "National Family Caregivers Month." It aims to recognize the 63,000,000 family caregivers in the United States who provide essential care. The resolution notes that these caregivers provide unpaid care worth an estimated $600,000,000,000 annually. It highlights the vital role caregivers play in the healthcare system by supporting those with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and aging needs. Additionally, the resolution commends these individuals and recognizes the 2022 National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers as a roadmap for support.
