Expressing support for the annual designation of the first Saturday after the Spring Equinox as ''National Day of Play''.

HRES 1036 is a symbolic House resolution calling for the annual designation of the first Saturday after the Spring Equinox as "National Day of Play." It does not create new laws or funding but encourages Americans to reduce screen time and engage in community activities. The resolution cites health impacts of loneliness and excessive device use, emphasizing play’s role in improving social connections, mental well-being, and physical health. It specifically urges people to "put their electronics down" and participate in local events on this designated day, with the first observance set for March 21, 2026. The resolution directly affects all U.S. residents by promoting a voluntary annual practice to strengthen community bonds.
