- Support an awareness day
The resolution expresses support for recognizing October 5 as National Peroxisomal Disorder Awareness Day.
- Voice concern for affected families
The House would express concern about the severe strain peroxisomal disorders place on American families.

It says awareness could help foster understanding of the disorders' effects on patients and families.
