Expressing support for designation of the week of February 2, 2026, through February 6, 2026, as "National School Counseling Week".

# Summary of HJRES 148 **What the Bill Does** This is a symbolic resolution that would officially designate the week of February 2-6, 2026, as "National School Counseling Week." The bill doesn't create any new programs, funding, or legal requirements—it simply expresses Congressional support for recognizing and honoring school counselors during that specific week. **Who It Affects** The designation would primarily benefit school counselors and the counseling profession by raising awareness of their work. Students and families may also benefit indirectly from increased recognition of school counseling services. The resolution is largely ceremonial and doesn't impose obligations or changes on any groups. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Linda T.

Sánchez (D-CA) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. Since this is a non-binding resolution rather than legislation that would change laws or allocate funds, it faces a lower procedural hurdle but also has no direct policy impact if passed.
