SRES 429 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution designating September 2025 as "National Infant Mortality Awareness Month", raising awareness of infant mortality, and increasing efforts to reduce infant mortality.

SRES 429 designates September 2025 as "National Infant Mortality Awareness Month" to raise public awareness about infant mortality rates and support existing efforts to reduce them. The resolution highlights that the U.S. has higher infant mortality rates than most OECD countries, with significant disparities affecting minority communities and areas with limited healthcare access. It calls for educational campaigns and recognizes current federal programs like the Healthy Start initiative and PRAMS survey, but does not create new funding or policies. The bill directly affects the public and communities through awareness efforts during September 2025, without altering existing laws or programs.
