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 Social Security Administration was established by the Social Security Act of 1935; Whereas Social Security pays cash benefits to more than 65 million people per month; Whereas benefits are expected to be paid in full on a timely basis only until 2033; Whereas, the reserves for Social Security’s Retirement and Survivors benefit program may become exhausted as soon as 2033, and benefits are expected to be paid out at only 77 percent; Whereas, due to President Biden and his administration, inflation has risen 13.9 percent across the country since he has taken the oath of office; Whereas sky rocketing costs are even worse as prices have outpaced seniors’ fixed incomes, causing this year's Social Security benefits to have the highest automatic increase in 40 years, further exacerbating the strain on the Social Security trust fund; and Whereas it is the sense of the House of Representatives that its commitment to the United States is to save and strengthen Social Security: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives affirms that current retirees and those nearing retirement expect certain Social Security commitments to be made, as Social Security has been one of the primary pillars of retirement support for millions of older Americans for the past eight decades and it is not the policy of the House of Representatives to cut Social Security as part of debt ceiling negotiations.
IV 118th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 118 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 9, 2023 Ms. Van Duyne (for herself, Mr. Burgess , Mr. Wittman , Mrs. Miller of West Virginia , Mr. Moolenaar , Ms. Greene of Georgia , Mr. Mills , Mrs. Lesko , Mr. McCormick , Mrs. McClain , Mr. Ellzey , Mr. Donalds , and Mr. Jackson of Texas ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means , and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce , for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned RESOLUTION Maintaining Medicare.

Whereas, created in 1965, Medicare was established to provide Government health insurance to senior citizens; Whereas now roughly 65,200,000 individuals utilize Medicare to provide health care coverage; Whereas under President Biden, health care prices have risen nearly 30 percent in 2022 where seniors and everyday Americans saw the largest increase on record; Whereas, due in part to the increased cost of living caused by President Biden’s mismanagement of the economy, the standard Medicare beneficiary saw an increase of $21.60 a month for their 2022 premiums; Whereas, during the 117th Congress, funds meant for Medicare were reallocated to pay for partisan policies outside of the Medicare program in the Inflation Reduction Act; Whereas Democrats cut over $289,000,000 out of Medicare to give insurance companies handouts to boost Obamacare and finance Democrats’ pet green energy projects instead of strengthening Medicare for future generations; and Whereas President Biden has accused House Republicans of threatening to cut Medicare: Now, therefore, be it

That— (1) the House of Representatives affirms current retirees and those nearing retirement expect certain Medicare commitments to be made, as Medicare has been one of the vital pillars for senior citizens to access health care; and (2) it is the sense of the House of Representatives that its commitment to the United States is to save and strengthen Medicare and no longer use Medicare as a slush fund to finance Democrats’ partisan policy agenda.
IV 118th CONGRESS 1st Session H.

Whereas music has been present in every known human culture throughout history and modern times; Whereas music is one of the most important manifestations of our cultural heritage, as it embodies our national identity and illustrates our shared history; Whereas music education helps communities share ideas and values among cultures and generations, promoting a more cooperative and inclusive citizenry; Whereas singing has existed in American classrooms since before the signing of the Declaration of Independence; Whereas, in 1838, music as its own curriculum was first adopted by public authority in the public schools of Boston, Massachusetts; Whereas the development of a musical people has been and remains dependent on a public commitment to the teaching of music in all schools; Whereas State legislatures and educational agencies have supported music as part of the regular school curriculum; Whereas the Every Student Succeeds Act identified music as part of a well-rounded education; Whereas music is a means for exploring the emotional and aesthetic dimensions of the human experience; Whereas music holds intrinsic value as an art form, providing opportunity for self-expression, fellowship, and spiritual fulfillment; Whereas research has documented that participation in school music promotes student engagement, leading to improved social and academic outcomes, particularly for at-risk students; Whereas research has documented that participation in school music also promotes cognitive, social, and emotional development, exercising skills valuable to the workforce such as motivation, attentiveness, self-discipline, teamwork, persistence, empathy, respect, and leadership; and Whereas students attending public school in urban or rural communities, public schools with a high percentage of students from low-income families, and public schools that are majority Black, Hispanic, or Native American experience the most inequity in access to music education: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives supports the designation of Music in Our Schools Month and recognizes— (1) the fundamental importance of music to the Nation’s culture; (2) the long history of music as an integral part of the Nation’s schools; (3) the disparate access to high-quality music education that exists across the country; and (4) the need to do more to support the teaching and learning of music in public schools.

Whereas more than 2,200,000 low-income, uninsured adults fall into the Medicaid coverage gap because State governments have been unable to reach a consensus on expansion; Whereas closing the Medicaid coverage gap will reduce the national uninsured rate by nearly 10 percent; Whereas closing the Medicaid coverage gap will generate upward of $5,000,000,000 in revenue for State and local governments and nearly $130,000,000,000 for the Federal Government to reinvest in our communities; Whereas closing the Medicaid coverage gap will prevent hospital closures, particularly in rural areas that have seen more than 150 hospital closures in the last decade; Whereas hospitals were 6 times less likely to close in States that expanded Medicaid between 2008 and 2016; Whereas financial margins for hospitals improved by 33 percent because uncompensated care spending dropped following Medicaid expansion in the first 36 States to adopt it; Whereas 39 States governed by both Democratic and Republican elected officials have already adopted Medicaid expansion; Whereas it is unreasonable to expect an individual earning less than $13,000 per year to afford health insurance, regardless of employment status; Whereas 1 American who falls into the Medicaid coverage gap dies per day without access to lifesaving health care; Whereas communities of color have been disproportionately disadvantaged by the failure to expand Medicaid and close the coverage gap; and Whereas Congress has a responsibility to provide accessible, high-quality health care to all Americans regardless of socioeconomic status: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) urges the remaining 11 States that have yet to expand Medicaid and close the Medicaid coverage gap to do so; (2) expresses support for H.R. 31, the COVER Now Act, as a temporary measure to close the Medicaid coverage gap; (3) recognizes the economic and health care benefits of expanding Medicaid for hospitals, health care workers, the low-income, nonelderly, uninsured population in the coverage gap, and the labor market; and (4) will support the cause of expanding Medicaid to uninsured Americans in the coverage gap unless and until the 11 nonexpansion States move forward with expansion.

Whereas the Korean Peninsula, with the Republic of Korea (in this resolution referred to as South Korea ) in the South and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (in this resolution referred to as North Korea ) in the North, remains divided following the signing of the Korean War Armistice Agreement on July 27, 1953; Whereas the division of the Korean Peninsula separated more than 10,000,000 Korean family members, including some who are now citizens of the United States; Whereas there have been 21 rounds of family reunions between South Koreans and North Koreans along the border since 2000; Whereas Congress signaled its support for family reunions between United States citizens and their relatives in North Korea in section 1265 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 ( Public Law 110–181 ), signed into law by President George W. Bush on January 28, 2008; Whereas most of the population of divided family members in the United States, initially estimated at 100,000 in 2001, has significantly dwindled as many of the individuals have passed away; Whereas the summit between North Korea and South Korea on April 27, 2018, has prioritized family reunions; Whereas the United States and North Korea have engaged in talks during 2 historic summits in June 2018 in Singapore and February 2019 in Hanoi; and Whereas many Korean Americans are waiting for a chance to meet their relatives in North Korea for the first time in more than 60 years: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) calls on the United States and North Korea to begin the process of reuniting Korean-American divided family members with their immediate relatives through ways such as— (A) identifying divided families in the United States and North Korea who are willing and able to participate in a pilot program for family reunions; (B) finding matches for members of such families through organizations such as the Red Cross; and (C) working with the Government of South Korea to include American citizens in inter-Korean video reunions; (2) reaffirms the institution of family as inalienable and, accordingly, urges the restoration of contact between divided families physically, literarily, or virtually; and (3) calls on the United States and North Korea to pursue reunions as a humanitarian priority of immediate concern.
