What this bill does
H.Res. 1523 is a nonbinding resolution expressing the House of Representatives' support for designating November 20, 2026, as "Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Awareness Day." It does not create any new law, program, or funding; it simply states the House's support for the designation and highlights facts about carbon monoxide poisoning, including CDC data citing over 400 deaths and 20,000 emergency room visits annually from this cause. The resolution also references the death of a New Jersey resident, Suzan "Suzie" Marie Hanna, from carbon monoxide poisoning in 2021, and notes her family's advocacy for safety measures such as emergency tools for vehicles.
The resolution primarily affects public awareness rather than any specific group with legal obligations. It would not require any agency, business, or individual to take action, since resolutions of this kind carry no legal force and do not amend statutes or regulations. Its main function is symbolic, aiming to draw attention to carbon monoxide risks and encourage public awareness campaigns.
The bill was introduced on September 10, 2026, by Rep. Thomas Kean of New Jersey and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. As of the latest available information, it has not advanced beyond this initial referral. For the resolution to have any effect, the committee would need to act on it, and the full House would need to vote to adopt it.
