Summary
What This Bill Does
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for designating November 2025 as National Lung Cancer Awareness Month, along with National Women's Lung Cancer Awareness Week and National Lung Cancer Screening Day. The resolution promotes efforts to raise awareness about lung cancer risk factors, screening, and treatment options, with particular attention to underserved populations including minorities and people who have never smoked.

Public health agencies gain symbolic support for their ongoing lung cancer prevention and education efforts.
