01 · The brief
Simple ResolutionWhat this resolution actually does

This resolution expresses the House's support for designating July as Disability Pride Month and urges people and groups to observe it with celebrations and activities. It is a simple resolution passed by the House alone and does not create or change federal law or require action by the President. It is a formal, nonbinding statement meant to raise awareness and encourage inclusion of people with disabilities.

This House resolution expresses support for designating July as “Disability Pride Month,” notes the ADA’s July 26, 1990 anniversary, cites prevalence data on disability, and calls on people and groups to observe the month and work against exclusion and discrimination.

It is a non‑binding, symbolic statement encouraging celebrations and anti‑discrimination efforts.
