Expressing support for designation of the month of February 2026 as "National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month".

Plain-English Summary

This bill is a resolution expressing Congress's support for designating February 2026 as "National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month." It does not create any new laws, programs, or funding — instead, it serves as an official statement from Congress recognizing the importance of addressing dating violence among teenagers and young people.

Resolutions like this are commonly used by Congress to formally acknowledge important issues, raise public awareness, and show support for a cause. By designating a specific month, the resolution encourages communities, schools, organizations, and individuals across the country to focus attention on the problem of teen dating violence — which can include physical, emotional, verbal, or digital abuse in romantic relationships involving young people.

This resolution would affect teenagers and young adults most directly, along with their families, educators, counselors, and organizations that work on youth safety and healthy relationships. While it does not require anyone to take specific action or spend any money, it signals that Congress views teen dating violence as a serious issue worthy of national attention. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary, which is a standard procedural step before it can be considered for a vote.
