HRES 1591 United States House · 118th Congress

Recognizing November 2024 as "National Family Caregivers Month".

HRES 1591 is a symbolic resolution recognizing November 2024 as "National Family Caregivers Month." It does not create new laws or provide funding but formally acknowledges the work of over 53 million unpaid family caregivers in the U.S., who support loved ones with health needs. The resolution commends caregivers, encourages federal and state agencies to advance existing support policies (like tax credits and respite care), and urges broader community recognition - without imposing new requirements or changing current programs. As a ceremonial measure, it has no direct effect on legislation or affected individuals.
