H.Res. 428 is a symbolic resolution expressing support for designating May 2025 as "Moving Month" to recognize the contributions of the moving and storage industry. The resolution highlights that over 15 million U.S. households move annually, and the industry employs roughly 200,000 workers across nearly 8,000 interstate carriers with annual payrolls exceeding $13 billion. The moving industry provides critical services to civilians, businesses, and the U.S. military—coordinating approximately 300,000 military household relocations yearly through the Department of Defense. The resolution notes that over 70 percent of Americans move between May and September to minimize school disruption, making this period the industry's busiest season. As a House resolution, this measure carries no funding requirements or legal mandates; it simply encourages public recognition of the moving and storage industry's economic and logistical importance to the nation.
