Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 11-17, 2026, as Stuttering Awareness Week in the State of New York

This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially recognize May 11-17, 2026, as Stuttering Awareness Week. The resolution aims to raise public understanding of stuttering, a speech disorder that affects about one percent of the global population, and to promote support for those impacted. By designating this week for awareness, the bill seeks to encourage education and acceptance of individuals who experience speech interruptions. The measure does not create new laws or funding but serves as a symbolic gesture to highlight the condition and its effects on daily life.
