What this bill does
H.Res. 1459 is a resolution expressing House support for designating July 2026 as "American Grown Flower and Foliage Month." It does not create new law, funding, or regulations. Instead, it formally recognizes the domestic cut flower and foliage industry, stating that the House supports the goals of this designation, recognizes that buying domestically grown flowers and foliage benefits U.S. farmers, small businesses, jobs, and the broader economy, and views flower and foliage cultivation as an important part of American agriculture. It also urges the public to display domestically grown flowers and foliage to show support for growers, processors, and distributors.
The resolution primarily affects domestic flower and foliage farmers, florists, and related businesses by highlighting their economic and cultural contributions, though it imposes no legal obligations on them, consumers, or the government. Consumers and the general public are encouraged, but not required, to consider purchasing American-grown floral products.
The bill was introduced on July 27, 2026, by Rep. Salud Carbajal along with several cosponsors, and referred to the House Committee on Agriculture. As a simple House resolution, it would not go to the Senate or the President; if passed, its effect would be symbolic, expressing the House's sentiment rather than enacting binding policy. Its next step would depend on committee action or a vote in the full House.
