House Resolution 201, introduced and spoken to by Representative Yousef Steckloff, was adopted by the Michigan House to designate October 2025 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Representative Steckloff, who identified herself as a breast cancer survivor, urged colleagues to adopt the resolution to "commemorate these battles, celebrate these victories" and to encourage early detection and public outreach. She said the resolution "is not merely symbolic" but also a "call to action" to promote screenings and support medical research.
The clerk called the question and the resolution was adopted by voice vote: "All those in favor...Aye...Those opposed, nay. The resolution is adopted." The transcript records sponsor remarks and the voice adoption but does not show a roll-call tally.
The adopted resolution is an expression of support and public recognition; it does not appropriate funds. Implementation is primarily ceremonial and informational, intended to raise awareness and encourage outreach by advocacy and health organizations.
