Whereas childhood apraxia of speech is a motor speech neurological condition affecting 1 to 2 out of 1,000 children in the United States; Whereas children diagnosed with childhood apraxia of speech generally have a good sense of the language and know what they want to say, however, they have difficulty learning and carrying out the complex and sequenced movements that are necessary for intelligible speech; Whereas childhood apraxia of speech is often misdiagnosed or undiagnosed, leading to a greater gap for children who require intensive speech therapy; Whereas children with apraxia are at greater risk for developing secondary issues relating to reading, writing, and language expressions; Whereas children with apraxia are highly intelligent and are cognitively on par with their peers, but often suffer socially because of their lack of communication skills; Whereas with the proper therapy, children with apraxia can lead lives full of endless possibilities and hope; and Whereas May 14, 2022, is the designated day to observe Childhood Apraxia of Speech Awareness Day: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives supports— (1) the designation of a Childhood Apraxia of Speech Awareness Day ; (2) increasing recognition of and education on this challenging motor speech disorder; (3) encouraging research and data collection for childhood apraxia of speech; and (4) developing educational resources for individuals who are diagnosed with childhood apraxia of speech and their families.

Whereas the right of parents to protect their children and to direct their education and moral development has been repeatedly infringed by the courts, by Federal regulations, and by misguided policy initiatives; Whereas parents have a right to know and have a say in what their children are being taught in the classroom; Whereas the liberty of parents to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children is a fundamental right; Whereas each child is an individual with unique educational needs and gifts; Whereas parents are best positioned to know what is in his or her child’s best interest, not the government; Whereas providing a first-rate education for America’s children is one of our greatest responsibilities; Whereas there are countless dedicated teachers and administrators who work hard every day and serve students well; Whereas ensuring all students receive the proper support and access to a quality education requires a partnership between parents, local school boards, and States; Whereas at-home virtual learning puts much additional strain on parents, who are earnestly trying to navigate and balance the competing pressures of their own work and caretaking responsibilities; Whereas lockdowns and mandates as a response to the COVID–19 pandemic have deprived children of the social interaction they so desperately need as they grow; Whereas, due to mandates and attempts at virtual classrooms, students are falling behind academically, especially in low-income and underprivileged communities, and too many children are now experiencing mental health challenges and sustained learning loss; Whereas children are not at great risk for severe illness or death from COVID–19; Whereas across our Nation, divisive and destructive components of Critical Race Theory (CRT) are finding their way into elementary-school-level curricula; and Whereas CRT puts forth the notion that the central feature of society is a power struggle between races: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives expresses the sense that— (1) the House of Representatives supports the designation of the Year of the Parents ; (2) students, parents, local school boards, States, and the Federal Government should work together to ensure our children receive the best education possible; (3) governing authorities should take into consideration our students’ emotional and mental health, in conjunction with physical health, when developing school health policy guidelines; (4) teachers’ unions should not be directing the health policies and procedures of our schools; (5) those who want to continue wearing a mask or taking other forms of precaution may do so; and (6) no Federal funding should be dispersed to any school, public or private, that promotes Critical Race Theory at any level (elementary, secondary, middle, or high school).

Whereas public works professionals focus on infrastructure, facilities, and services that are of vital importance to sustainable and resilient communities and to the public health, high quality of life, and well-being of the United States of America; Whereas such infrastructure, facilities, and services could not be provided without the dedicated efforts of public works professionals, who are engineers, managers, and employees of Federal, State, and local government and the private sector, and who are responsible for rebuilding, improving, and protecting our Nation’s transportation, water supply, water treatment and solid waste systems, public buildings, and other structures and facilities essential for our citizens; Whereas public works professionals play a key role in helping the United States recover from the COVID–19 pandemic; Whereas it is in the public interest for citizens, civic leaders, and children of the United States to gain knowledge of, and to maintain a progressive interest and understanding of, the importance of public works and public works programs in their respective communities; and Whereas the week of May 15 through May 21, 2022, marks the 62nd annual National Public Works Week : Now, therefore, be it

Whereas the National Day of Light is aimed at raising awareness of the vital role of light in our daily lives and its importance to 21st-century technology and innovation; Whereas for centuries, light-based technologies have provided solutions to worldwide challenges in energy, agriculture, manufacturing, telecommunications, national security, and health; Whereas optics and photonics is the study of the fundamental properties of light and harnessing them for practical applications; Whereas light has revolutionized medicine through technologies such as x-ray imaging, laser surgery, and cancer treatments; Whereas light has transformed communication via the internet, a tool we cannot imagine living without today; Whereas light has helped us improve transportation safety with sensors in vehicles and advanced infrastructure monitoring; Whereas light has greatly enhanced the ability of the United States to gather intelligence, defend the Nation, and protect its troops in the field; Whereas most of what we have observed in the universe is known only through light-based technologies, first from the visible wavelengths observed by Galileo into x-ray, infrared, and radio waves, and even gravitational waves detected by lasers; Whereas advanced manufacturing is possible due to light-based technologies that can provide custom, precise, and high-added value through means such as additive manufacturing; Whereas quantum computing, sensing, and communication systems are largely enabled by light-based technologies; Whereas through the National Quantum Initiative Act ( Public Law 115–368 ), the United States is accelerating our investment in quantum information science and the development of commercially available quantum-based technologies, thereby facilitating growth in the economy of the United States and protecting our national security; and Whereas May 16 is already recognized internationally as the Day of Light: Now, therefore, be it

Whereas males and females possess unique and immutable biological differences that manifest prior to birth and increase as they age and experience puberty; Whereas biological differences between the sexes mean that only females may get pregnant, give birth, and breastfeed children; Whereas biological differences between the sexes mean that males are, on average, larger in size and possess greater body strength than females; Whereas biological differences between the sexes can expose females to more harm than males from specific forms of violence, including sexual violence; Whereas women have achieved inspirational and significant accomplishments in education, athletics, and employment; and Whereas recent misguided court rulings related to the definition of sex have led to endangerment of spaces and resources dedicated to women, thereby necessitating clarification of certain terms: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives reaffirms that— (1) for purposes of Federal law, a person’s sex means his or her biological sex (either male or female) at birth; (2) for purposes of Federal law addressing sex, the terms woman and girl refer to human females, and the terms man and boy refer to human males; (3) for purposes of Federal law, the word mother means a parent of the female sex and father is defined as a parent of the male sex; (4) there are important reasons to distinguish between the sexes with respect to athletics, prisons, domestic violence shelters, restrooms, and other areas, particularly where biology, safety, and privacy are implicated; (5) policies and laws that distinguish between the sexes are subject to intermediate constitutional scrutiny and permitted when they serve an important governmental objective and are substantially related to achieving that objective; and (6) for purposes of complying with Federal laws that require State and local government agencies to collect or report data disaggregated by sex, such as Federal antidiscrimination laws, agencies are required to base such data on the biological sex of individuals at birth.

Whereas the VetFran program was established in 1991 with the vision of serving veterans returning from the Gulf war; Whereas VetFran is a strategic initiative of the International Franchise Association and the IFA Foundation; Whereas the mission of VetFran is to educate both veterans and franchisors about the unique match between the skills and aptitude of entrepreneurial veterans and the demands and opportunities of being a franchisee; Whereas VetFran works to facilitate the transition of veterans into franchising by encouraging franchisors to offer discounts and incentives to veterans on the one hand, and to assemble resources, tools and a database of franchising opportunities for veterans on the other; Whereas the VetFran program is led by a dedicated committee of volunteers from the franchising industry, composed of chief executive officers, senior franchise executives, and multi-unit franchisees, the members of the committee bring unparalleled experience and insight to the program; Whereas many of the committee members are veterans themselves and all of them volunteer their time and expertise because they share a deep commitment to the veterans community and have a passionate belief in the opportunities and prosperity that the franchise business model creates; Whereas franchising is one of America’s most enduring contributions to the world of business; Whereas the franchise business model allows individuals to go into business for themselves, but not by themselves; Whereas veterans emerge from service with strong leadership skills and a thorough understanding of teams; Whereas military experience includes leading and motivating people, improving processes, and accomplishing a defined mission; and Whereas, like the military, successful franchisees, and employees accomplish the mission with a team: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives commemorates VetFran for 30 years of service to veterans and the franchise community.
