Names September 2025 as Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month — no change to your bills, rules, or paperwork.
The details
Most people would notice no change in daily life from this resolution. The Senate named September 2025 as National Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month. It voices support for research toward better treatments and a cure. It also backs clinical trials of new therapies for people living with paralysis. Nothing here spends money, changes a rule, or adds a form. The Senate agreed to it on October 7, 2025, a week after the month it names had ended. The text says about 308,000 people in the U.S. live with spinal cord injuries. It counts about 18,000 new injuries each year. More than 42,000 of the people living with these injuries are veterans. It names car crashes as the leading cause. Those are the Senate's own claims, not new law.
