HRES 874 United States House · 118th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of "Prematurity Awareness Month".

HRES 874 is a symbolic resolution expressing the House's support for designating November as "Prematurity Awareness Month." It does not create new laws or alter funding but urges the public, organizations, and communities to observe the month through events, promote awareness, and support preterm birth prevention programs. The resolution highlights statistics on preterm births (383,000 babies born preterm in 2021) and health disparities, but its sole action is endorsing the awareness designation. As a non-binding resolution, it has no direct impact on policy or affected individuals beyond raising public visibility.
