Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that welfare programs discourage marriage and hurt the institution of the family in the United States.

This resolution expresses the official opinion of the House of Representatives that certain federal welfare programs and tax policies create financial disincentives for low-income individuals to marry. It calls for a formal review of government assistance programs and tax credits to identify and eliminate "marriage penalties," which occur when a couple’s combined income or joint filing status results in a loss of benefits or higher taxes compared to remaining unmarried. If acted upon, this could lead to future legislative changes aimed at adjusting eligibility requirements for social safety net programs to ensure that getting married does not result in a reduction of government support.
