Expressing support for the designation of May 2026 as "Arthritis Awareness Month".

HRES 1271 is a resolution that expresses the House of Representatives' support for designating May 2026 as Arthritis Awareness Month. The bill highlights the significant impact of arthritis, noting that it affects nearly 60 million adults and 300,000 children in the United States while causing over $304 billion in annual economic costs. It recognizes the efforts of the Arthritis Foundation to improve access to care and acknowledges the organization's 75th anniversary. This measure does not change any laws or funding but serves to raise public awareness about the condition.
