HRES 1341 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

RESOLUTION
Expressing support for the recognition of June 7, 2026, as “Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day”.
Whereas Tourette Syndrome is an inherited neurological disorder that is characterized by involuntary physical and vocal tics that occur many times a day; Whereas Tourette Syndrome is often accompanied by other mental health disorders such as attention deficit and obsessive compulsive disorder, learning disabilities, and anxiety; Whereas Tourette Syndrome and Persistent Tic Disorders affect approximately 1 in 50 children; Whereas more than 30,000 school age children in the State of Tennessee and 82,000 in New York alone are dealing with Tourette Syndrome; Whereas, although some of these cases are aided by medication, there is no standard treatment or known cure for the disorder; Whereas there is an important need for more professional help with interest and expertise to identify, counsel, and treat people with Tourette Syndrome, a disorder that is often misdiagnosed and misunderstood; Whereas positive actions to assist children and families living with Tourette Syndrome would result from a broadening of public and professional knowledge and acceptance of Tourette Syndrome; Whereas the Tourette Association of America is actively providing services to families, educating medical professionals and teachers, and supporting research to better understand the signs and treatments of Tourette Syndrome; and Whereas June 7, 2026, would be an appropriate date to recognize as “Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day”: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives expresses support for the recognition of “Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day” as a special day to promote understanding, compassion, and acceptance for all of our fellow citizens who deserve and need our support to break the stigma that surrounds Tourette Syndrome. <all>
