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 March 12, 2026, as Detransition Awareness Day. It states that gender ideology and related medical interventions have caused irreparable harm to individuals, especially minors. The text highlights statistics on the rise of gender dysphoria diagnoses and medical interventions among children from 2017 through 2021. It mentions that many minors seeking to transition have a history of mental health disorders like anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Finally, the resolution states that the Senate resolves to designate the day and commits to fostering the biological reality of young men and women.
