Expressing support for designation of the month of February 2025 as "National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month".
Summary
This is a non-binding resolution introduced in the House that expresses congressional support for designating February 2025 as National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month. As a non-binding resolution, it does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as a symbolic statement from Congress recognizing the importance of raising awareness about teen dating violence and promoting prevention efforts.
If passed, this resolution would officially designate the month of February 2025 for heightened awareness and education about teen dating violence and abuse prevention. The resolution was introduced by Representative Gwen Moore (D-WI) on February 12, 2025, and is currently under committee consideration. While the resolution itself would not create new laws or programs, it would demonstrate congressional support for teen dating violence prevention initiatives and could help draw public attention to this issue affecting young people.
