HRES 1260 United States House · 118th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of the month of May 2024 as "Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Awareness Month".

HRES 1260 is a non-binding resolution expressing the U.S. House of Representatives' support for designating May 2024 as "Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Awareness Month." It recognizes progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) as a rare neurodegenerative disease affecting approximately 30,000 Americans, with no known cure and symptoms including cognitive decline, balance issues, and speech difficulties. The resolution specifically supports raising public awareness, encourages research for better treatments and a cure, and commends efforts by patients, families, and organizations working to improve PSP care. As a symbolic gesture, it does not create new laws or allocate funding but aims to increase visibility for this under-recognized condition.
