Designate February as American Heart Month to raise awareness about heart disease.

One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.

What’s happening with this effort?

The Senate passed S.Res. 614 on February 24, 2026, and the measure now requires action from the House to proceed. House leadership decides when to schedule a floor vote, which serves as the primary constraint for this resolution. Similar efforts often fail to reach a final vote in both chambers, as the House does not always take up resolutions passed by the Senate.
