A resolution supporting the designation of September 19, 2025, as "National Concussion Awareness Day".
Summary
S.Res. 420 is a non-binding resolution introduced by Senator Margaret Wood Hassan of New Hampshire that proposes to officially designate September 19, 2025, as National Concussion Awareness Day. 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 symbolic statement of support from the Senate.
The resolution aims to raise public awareness about concussions, which are a type of traumatic brain injury. By establishing a designated day for concussion awareness, the resolution would encourage education and discussion about the causes, prevention, and treatment of concussions. This could help inform citizens about the importance of recognizing concussion symptoms and seeking appropriate medical care.
It is important to note that this bill was introduced on September 29, 2025, and has not yet received committee action. Most introduced bills do not advance further in the legislative process. Even if it were to pass, the resolution would remain non-binding and would not create any new legal requirements or government programs.
