Recognize the last day of February as a day to raise awareness for rare diseases.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with this effort?
The Senate passed S.Res. 620 on February 25, 2026, but the resolution has seen no action in the House since that date. House leadership must now decide whether to schedule a floor vote, which is the primary constraint for this effort. History shows that resolutions passing one chamber often fail to advance further because the House does not always prioritize them.
