Congressman Marc Veasey has introduced a congressional resolution, H.R. RES 195 that recognizes May as “Health and Fitness Month.” This legislation is the Congressman’s second bill introduced in Congress and encourages Americans to lead healthy lifestyles.
U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey, D-Fort Worth, has introduced his first two bills in Congress -- one to help veterans and one to encourage healthy lifestyles. One bill, H.R. 1816, gives more assistance under the post-9/11 GI Bill to veterans seeking degrees in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The other, H.R. 195, designates May as "Health and Fitness Month," and encourages Americans to lead healthy lifestyles.
Veasey was sworn into office in January.
