Recognizing the roles and the contributions of America's Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) and their critical role in providing quality health care for the public and our Nation's Armed Forces, for more than 150 years and through multiple public health emergencies and beyond.
Summary
H.Res. 1019 is a non-binding resolution that would recognize the roles and contributions of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) in the United States. The resolution acknowledges their work in providing quality healthcare to the public and the nation's Armed Forces over more than 150 years of service. It also recognizes their critical role during multiple public health emergencies.
As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a formal expression of recognition and appreciation from Congress. The resolution is currently under committee consideration after being introduced in January 2026 and has not yet been voted on by the full House. If passed, it would have no direct practical impact on citizens or healthcare policy, but would represent an official congressional acknowledgment of CRNAs' professional contributions to American healthcare.
