H.Res. 613 is a symbolic resolution expressing congressional support for designating July as "Disability Pride Month" in the United States. The resolution highlights that approximately 70 million American adults and over 3 million children have disabilities, and notes that July was chosen because the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law on July 26, 1990. The measure calls on Americans, organizations, and community groups to observe Disability Pride Month with appropriate celebrations and activities while working to prevent discrimination and exclusion of people with disabilities. As a House resolution, this legislation does not require presidential approval and carries no binding force or funding—it serves as a statement of congressional support and encouragement for recognizing the contributions and dignity of Americans with disabilities.
