Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
Older Americans Act Reauthorization Act of 2025
The bill strengthens coordination, transparency, and direct supports for older adults (behavioral health, caregivers, nutrition, tribal elders, abuse prevention) but does so at the cost of substantial new administrative requirements, potential funding strains and reallocations, and some privacy, equity, and oversight trade-offs.
Fighting Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Act of 2025
The bill would improve recognition, planning, and potential access to trauma-informed mental‑health supports for public safety personnel—especially via telehealth and Tribal inclusion—but mostly produces reports and proposals rather than guaranteed funding, risking unmet expectations, implementation costs for localities, and possible budgetary pressure.
988 Lifeline Location Improvement Act of 2026
The bill aims to speed and standardize location-based assistance and improve accessibility and oversight for 988, but it trades off meaningful privacy risks, implementation and funding costs, possible governance overreach, and limits on new spending that could constrain effective rollout.
Tyler’s Law
The bill aims to improve emergency overdose diagnosis and support hospitals with federal guidance and training insights, but does so at the cost of new implementation expenses, added privacy burdens, and the risk of routine testing without clear benefit that could undermine patient trust.
ADS for Mental Health Services Act
The bill boosts transparency about public‑service and mental‑health advertising on very large platforms—helping users and policymakers and potentially increasing outreach—while imposing compliance costs, leaving smaller platforms unregulated, and limiting the rule's duration with a five‑year sunset.
SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Reauthorization Act of 2025
The bill substantially increases federal investments, program scope, and workforce and medication‑access reforms to prevent overdoses and expand treatment, but it raises fiscal costs, administrative burdens, privacy and legal uncertainties, and implementation risks that must be managed to realize intended benefits.
Recognizing the seriousness of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and expressing support for the designation of September 2025 as "PCOS Awareness Month".
The resolution raises awareness and documents substantial health and economic harms from PCOS—potentially increasing diagnosis, mental‑health attention, and justification for funding—while stopping short of providing funding or policy changes, which may create unmet expectations and short‑term cost or stigma risks.
Mental Health in Aviation Act of 2025
The bill aims to reduce stigma and modernize aviation mental‑health certification—potentially improving safety and speeding reinstatements—while redirecting recurring FAA funds and imposing administrative changes that could raise costs, introduce transitional uncertainty, and leave some pilots wary of career impacts.
No Wrong Door for Veterans Act
The bill expands suicide-crisis access, funds prevention grants, extends short-term pension stability, and adds prosthetics coverage for veterans—improving care and rehabilitation—while increasing federal costs, imposing implementation burdens, and creating near-term funding/policy uncertainty.
Improving VA Training for Military Sexual Trauma Claims Act
The bill aims to improve care, evidence collection, and oversight for veterans with MST claims, at the cost of higher VA administrative burden and possible short-term processing delays—and it cannot fully overcome problems when service records are missing.
Improving Law Enforcement Officer Safety and Wellness Through Data Act
The bill aims to improve officer safety and policymaking by expanding data collection, analysis, and recommendations, but it creates significant administrative costs, civil‑liberty risks, and potential budget pressures if actions are implemented without clear safeguards or funding.
Supporting the designation of May 29, 2025, as "Mental Health Awareness in Agriculture Day" to raise awareness around mental health in the agricultural industry and workforce and to continue to reduce stigma associated with mental illness.
The resolution raises awareness of elevated mental-health and suicide risks among farmers and rural communities—potentially reducing stigma and spurring outreach—while not providing funding or direct services, which may raise expectations or cause concern without immediate help.
Expressing support for the designation of February 23, 2025, to March 1, 2025, as "National Fentanyl Awareness Week" and raising awareness of the negative impacts of fentanyl in the United States.
The resolution raises important awareness and data-driven responses to the deadly rise of fentanyl—likely improving prevention, naloxone access, and law-enforcement/public-health coordination—but risks steering policy and funding toward enforcement and alarm-driven, punitive responses instead of expanded treatment and harm-reduction.
Designating June 23, 2026, as "Social Media Harms Victim Remembrance Day".
The bill establishes a national day to raise awareness and honor survivors of social-media–linked harms—helpful for visibility and community support—but it is symbolic, creates no binding protections or funding, and risks diverting attention from stronger policy solutions while potentially stigmatizing youth.
Designating November 2025 as "National Hospice and Palliative Care Month".
The bill promotes broader access, training, and volunteer support for palliative and hospice care—potentially improving end-of-life services—but does not fund or guarantee expanded availability, which could raise expectations and shift burdens onto patients and families where services are lacking.
Designating the week of February 3 through 7, 2025, as "National School Counseling Week".
Designating a School Counselor Week highlights and promotes understanding of counselors' academic, career, and wellbeing roles—potentially improving recognition and local support—but it does not fund or change staffing, so it risks creating unmet expectations without addressing persistent counselor shortages.
Expressing support for the designation of the week beginning on November 3, 2025, as "National School Psychology Week".
The resolution increases awareness of school psychologists and may improve collaboration in schools, but it is ceremonial and supplies no funding or new services, risking unmet expectations.
Designating the first full week in May as "Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week".
The bill improves detection, education, and access to treatment for tardive dyskinesia—potentially reducing harm for people on antipsychotics—at the cost of higher short‑term program and treatment expenses and a risk of increased stigma or unintended impacts on antipsychotic use.
Supporting the designation of October 2025 as "Substance Use & Misuse Prevention Month" to raise awareness of substance use and misuse in the United States.
The resolution raises awareness of the large scale of substance use disorders and recovery—supporting earlier prevention and expanded treatment—but may lead to increased federal spending and risks reinforcing stigma for people who use drugs or are in recovery.
Supporting the designation of September 19, 2025, as "National Concussion Awareness Day".
The resolution increases attention to evidence-based concussion care that could improve outcomes for young athletes and inform clinicians, but it provides no funding or enforcement and may create confusing overlap with existing state policies.
Expressing support for the designation of November 16, 2025, as "National Warrior Call Day" and recognizing the importance of connecting members of the Armed Forces and veterans in the United States to support structures necessary to transition from the battlefield, especially peer-to-peer connection.
The resolution raises national awareness and research attention to veteran suicide and TBI—potentially improving outreach and policy focus—while remaining a nonbinding observance with modest costs and risks of over-attributing suicide to a single cause.
Recognizing suicide as a serious public health problem and expressing support for the designation of September as "National Suicide Prevention Month".
The resolution's findings could improve prevention, reduce stigma, and inform targeted supports for those at risk of suicide, but they also risk raising public costs, causing distress if not paired with concrete funded actions, and prompting broad policy responses with additional burdens.
Recognizing suicide as a serious public health problem, expressing support for the designation of September 8, 2025, as "988 Day" and the role of 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
The bill expands proven, round‑the‑clock crisis support (including multilingual and specialized services) to more people, but realizing durable reductions in suicide will require sustained funding, staffing, and stronger follow-up treatment connections to avoid strained services and limited long-term impact.
Recognizing September 8 through 14, 2025, as "Interscholastic Athletic Administrators' Week".
The resolution publicly endorses and highlights the mental-health and educational benefits of student sports—potentially encouraging greater attention to athletic programs—but it contains no funding or binding measures and may overlook equity and safety gaps, limiting concrete impact for disadvantaged students.
Designating August 21, 2025, as "Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day".
The resolution raises awareness and encourages education and coordination around illicit fentanyl, but as a symbolic, unfunded designation it may have limited practical impact and could unintentionally increase stigma or enforcement-driven harms without expanding treatment or harm-reduction services.
Expressing support for the designation of the month of June 2025 as "National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Month" and June 27, 2025, as "National Post-Traumatic Stress Awareness Day".
The resolution raises national visibility for PTSD—potentially encouraging treatment and reducing stigma for veterans and others—but delivers no guaranteed funding or service expansion, so benefits depend on follow-on resources and well-designed outreach.
Commending Federal, State, and local law enforcement for their efforts in protecting Americans by combating drug trafficking and agroterrorism and for their recent actions in Kansas and across the country.
The resolution highlights and supports law-enforcement efforts that can reduce lethal drug supply and protect agriculture, but the trade-off is greater emphasis on enforcement—potentially higher taxpayer costs and risks to civil liberties and investments in treatment/prevention.
Expressing support for the designation of the second Saturday in June as "Veterans Get Outside Day".
The resolution promotes nature-based outreach to support veterans' mental health and raise awareness, potentially expanding nonclinical support and policy attention, but risks diverting focus and funding from evidence-based clinical care and may not equitably reach rural or disabled veterans.
Designating June 6, 2025, as National Naloxone Awareness Day.
The bill expands naloxone access, education, and stigma-reduction efforts to save lives and increase community readiness for overdoses, but it requires public resources, may face local resistance, and does not substitute for broader investment in addiction treatment and prevention.
Supporting the designation of May 4 through May 10, 2025, as "Children's Mental Health Awareness Week".
The resolution draws attention to youth mental health and may reduce stigma and spur coordination, but it offers no funding or mandates, so benefits may be limited and largely symbolic for under-resourced families.
