Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This House resolution expresses support for designating April 2026 as "Parkinson’s Awareness Month." It cites prevalence, projected growth, economic and caregiving burdens, and calls for more research, education, community support, and recognition of clinical trial participants and advocates.
The resolution is nonbinding and symbolic, commending organizations and individuals working on Parkinson’s disease.
Cannot become law as a House simple resolution; adoption by the House is likely but it does not create binding law.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward commemorative resolution that clearly states the purpose and reasons for designating April 2026 as Parkinson’s Awareness Month. It uses an appropriate, minimal structure for a symbolic expression of support.

Likely broadly supportive as a nonbinding, compassionate recognition of patients and caregivers, while remaining wary of using this as justification for expanded federal spending.
