HR 323 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

A Resolution designating the month of August 2024 as "Civic Health Month" in Pennsylvania.

This resolution designates August 2024 as "Civic Health Month" throughout Pennsylvania to raise awareness about the connection between voting and community well-being. The bill is sponsored by several state representatives and focuses on encouraging civic participation, such as voter registration, as a way to improve health outcomes. By highlighting how social factors like housing and food access impact health, the resolution aims to promote nonpartisan voter engagement in medical settings and other community activities. This symbolic measure does not create new laws or funding but serves to recognize the importance of civic health as a social determinant of individual health.
