What this bill does
This concurrent resolution, H.Con.Res. 110, introduced in the House of Representatives, expresses support for National Celiac Awareness Month. It urges Congress to collaborate with healthcare providers and celiac disease advocacy groups to promote earlier screening and detection of the condition. The resolution also calls for increased federal funding for research into celiac disease.
The bill specifically targets the awareness and detection of celiac disease, a genetic autoimmune disorder affecting an estimated 3 million Americans, many of whom remain undiagnosed. It highlights the importance of early detection and the challenges faced by individuals with celiac disease in adhering to a gluten-free diet, particularly in school settings.
Having been introduced in April 2009, H.Con.Res. 110 was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce and subsequently to the Subcommittee on Health. As a concurrent resolution, if passed by both the House and Senate, it would signify Congress's official support and recommendations, but it does not carry the force of law or mandate specific actions.
