Supporting the goals and ideals of "Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Awareness Month".
Summary
H.Res. 1112 is a non-binding resolution that would express support for the goals and ideals of Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Awareness Month. 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 statement of congressional support for raising awareness about these serious blood clot conditions.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are potentially life-threatening conditions where blood clots form in veins. An awareness month aims to educate the public about risk factors, symptoms, and prevention. If passed, this resolution would demonstrate congressional backing for such public health awareness efforts, though it would not create any new programs, funding, or legal requirements.
The resolution was introduced on March 12, 2026, by Representative Gregory Murphy (R-NC) and is currently under committee consideration. As with all non-binding resolutions, passage would be largely symbolic in nature.
