Expressing support for the designation of March as "Multiple System Atrophy Awareness Month" to strengthen public awareness of this neurodegenerative disorder.

H.Res. 1117 is a non-binding resolution that would express support for designating March as Multiple System Atrophy Awareness Month. The resolution aims to strengthen public awareness of multiple system atrophy, a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects the nervous system.

As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. If passed, it would serve as a symbolic statement from Congress supporting increased awareness and education about multiple system atrophy. The practical impact would be to encourage recognition and visibility of this health condition during the designated month, potentially supporting advocacy and educational efforts by patient organizations and healthcare providers.

The resolution was introduced on March 16, 2026, by Representative Kevin Mullin (D-CA) and is currently under committee consideration. It has not yet been voted on by the full House.
