HRES 365 United States House · 118th Congress

Supporting State, local, and community initiatives to encourage parents, teachers, camp counselors, and childcare professionals to take measures to prevent sunburns in the minors they care for, and expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that State, local, and community entities should continue to support efforts to curb the incidences of skin cancer beginning with childhood skin protection.

HRES 365 is a non-binding House resolution supporting efforts to reduce childhood sunburns and skin cancer risk. It encourages schools and childcare facilities to allow students to carry and use sunscreen without physician authorization (addressing current restrictions where sunscreen is treated as a prescription drug), and promotes policies for easy access to sunscreen and sun-protective clothing. The resolution also urges healthcare providers to educate parents and children about sun-safe practices during routine check-ups. It directly affects schools, camps, and childcare programs by advocating for practical changes to improve sun protection for minors.
