The resolution's preamble describes children as vital to the state's future and notes that preventing child abuse depends on partnerships among families, schools, faith communities, health care providers, law enforcement, and businesses. The operative part of the resolution simply states that House members recognize April 2025 as Child Abuse Prevention Month. It also directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies of the resolution available for distribution to the public and press. It creates no new programs, funding, or legal requirements.
