CER 26-0128 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Children’s Dental Health Month Recognition Resolution of 2026

This bill is a ceremonial resolution (CER 26-0128), not a law with enforceable provisions. It symbolically declares February 2026 as "Children’s Dental Health Month" in the District of Columbia. The resolution recognizes the importance of children’s oral health, highlights efforts by pediatric dentists and providers, and commends those working to promote prevention and access to care. It does not create new programs or alter existing policies - it serves as a formal acknowledgment of ongoing community health work.

MODERATE

This document shows the transition of a ceremonial resolution from its introduction stage to enrolled status. The substantive content of the resolution remains unchanged - it still declares February 2026 as Children's Dental Health Month and recognizes the importance of oral health for children. The primary changes are formatting and administrative elements that reflect the bill's progression through the legislative process.

TECHNICAL

Removed the list of Councilmembers who sponsored the resolution (Brianne K. Nadeau, Christina Henderson, Anita Bonds, Charles Allen, Brooke Pinto) as this information is no longer needed once the bill is enrolled.

Added 'ENROLLED ORIGINAL' designation and bill number '26-128' to indicate the bill has been formally enrolled and approved by the Council.

Added the date 'February 3, 2026' to document when the resolution was enrolled.

Changed the page numbering from sequential line numbers to a single page number '2' at the bottom, consistent with enrolled document formatting.
