Supporting the goals of Overdose Awareness Day and strengthening efforts to combat the opioid crisis in the United States.

HRES 1419 is a symbolic resolution recognizing Overdose Awareness Day and committing the House to strengthen efforts against the opioid crisis. It does not create new law but formally: (1) recognizes Overdose Awareness Day, (2) pledges to advance bipartisan policies reducing stigma around substance use disorders, and (3) commits to collaborating with states, communities, and organizations to support prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery services. The resolution highlights the crisis' severity - including 932,000 overdose deaths since 1999 and a $1 trillion annual economic burden - but focuses on shared goals rather than specific policy changes. It directly affects congressional action and public messaging, not individual citizens or programs.
