Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.Res. 424 is a symbolic resolution expressing support for "National Honor Our LGBT Elders Day" on May 16, 2025. The resolution acknowledges that the LGBTQ+ population age 50 and older is projected to reach 7 million by 2030, and highlights that these older adults face significant health disparities, higher rates of poverty and homelessness, and unique challenges such as being more likely to live alone without family support. The resolution calls on federal agencies, state and local governments, nonprofits, schools, and community organizations to observe the day through programs and activities that educate the public about these disparities, while also encouraging healthcare providers to offer culturally competent care to LGBTQ+ elders and urging government and international organizations to prioritize their health and human rights. This resolution does not create any new programs, funding, or legal requirements—it is a non-binding expression of congressional support aimed at raising awareness and encouraging voluntary action by various organizations.
