Expressing support for the designation of November 20, 2025, through December 20, 2025, as "National Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month".

## Summary of the Bill

This bill is a resolution expressing support for designating the period from November 20, 2025, through December 20, 2025, as "National Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month." It is not a law that creates new programs or regulations; rather, it is a symbolic measure meant to draw public attention to the experiences of people who have lost loved ones to homicide. These individuals — family members, friends, and others close to homicide victims — are often referred to as "survivors" or "co-victims."

The resolution aims to raise awareness about the emotional, psychological, and financial challenges that survivors of homicide victims face. Losing someone to homicide can have lasting effects, including grief, trauma, and difficulties navigating the criminal justice system, and this designation would encourage the public and policymakers to recognize and support these individuals during the awareness period.

This bill affects the general public primarily by encouraging awareness and acknowledgment. It does not impose any requirements, create any spending, or change existing laws. As a House resolution, it would need to be approved by the House of Representatives but does not require the President's signature. Currently, it has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary for consideration.
