Latest Action · August 7, 2026
Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent.
This resolution, introduced by Senator Lankford along with Senator Hassan, designates September 2026 as "National Child Awareness Month." It is a symbolic Senate resolution that does not create programs, allocate funding, or establish any legal requirements. Its purpose is to raise public awareness of charities and youth-serving organizations across the country that support children and teens through health care, education, social services, the arts, and sports. The resolution specifically highlights vulnerable groups, including children experiencing homelessness, those in foster care, victims or at-risk victims of child sex trafficking, and youth affected by violence, trauma, or serious health needs. Since it was already agreed to by the Senate on August 7, 2026, it stands as an official recognition without further legislative action or timeline attached.
