Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
A non‑binding House resolution thanking and promoting Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs), noting their history, scope of practice, and role in rural and military care.
It cites statistics (about 69,000 CRNAs, roughly 58.5 million anesthetics annually) and designates January 18–24, 2026 as National CRNA Week.
The resolution encourages patients, administrators, clinicians, and policymakers to recognize CRNAs and utilize them to their full potential.
This is a House simple resolution (ceremonial) that does not create binding law or require presidential signature; it is not the type of measure that becomes law.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward commemorative resolution that clearly states its purpose, names the relevant week and audiences, and encourages recognition without creating legal obligations, funding changes, or implementation requirements.
Progressive wants follow‑up policy on staffing, pay, and equity.

Prefers state control and opposes implied mandates.
