Recognizing May 15, 2025, as Hyperemesis Gravidarum Awareness Day.
HR 698 is a symbolic resolution designating May 15, 2025, as Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) Awareness Day in Texas. It recognizes HG - a severe pregnancy condition causing extreme nausea, vomiting, dehydration, and risks to both mother and baby - as a significant health concern affecting thousands of Texans annually. The resolution urges all Texans to learn about HG and supports efforts to improve care and research for this underdiagnosed condition. As a commemorative measure, it does not create new laws or alter policies but raises public awareness.

MODERATE
The bill text was reformatted from a traditional legislative resolution format to a more modern digital document structure. The substantive policy content regarding Hyperemesis Gravidarum Awareness Day remains unchanged, with the same recognition date (May 15, 2025) and identical WHEREAS clauses describing the condition and its impact. The only meaningful change is the addition of a certification statement confirming the bill was adopted by the House on April 9, 2025, and the inclusion of Speaker and Chief Clerk signature lines.
