Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives support for designating May 3 through May 9, 2026, as Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week and encourages people to learn about the condition. It is a non-binding statement that does not create new law, authorize spending, or establish government programs. The resolution's practical effect is to raise awareness and state the chamber's position, not to require action by other branches of government.
This is a simple resolution introduced and considered in the House only; it does not go to the Senate or the President and does not have the force of law. Its adoption would reflect the House's official view but would not create binding legal obligations.
This House resolution expresses support for designating May 3–9, 2026, as "Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week" and encourages Americans to become better informed about tardive dyskinesia.
The text notes TD causes, affected populations, screening recommendations, FDA-approved treatments, and the need for monitoring by health care providers.
As a House simple resolution it is non‑binding and cannot become law; adoption is likely but it does not create statutory law.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward commemorative resolution that clearly defines the condition it seeks to highlight and precisely designates dates for an awareness week while offering a simple call to action for individuals.

Would welcome reduced stigma and better screening, while pushing for concrete follow-through like access and coverage for treatments.
Generally supportive because it is nonbinding, low-cost, and raises health awareness.
Would look for clarity that it imposes no new unfunded mandates and suggests coordination with existing public-health efforts.
Likely supportive of a symbolic, awareness-focused resolution but cautious about any implied federal expansion or mandates.
Prefers state, private-sector, and clinician-led responses rather than new federal programs.
