Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 9-15, 2025, as Stuttering Awareness Week in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Hochul to officially proclaim May 9-15, 2025, as Stuttering Awareness Week in New York State, aligning with National Stuttering Awareness Week. It does not create new policies or services but formally asks the Governor to recognize and promote awareness of stuttering, a speech disorder affecting approximately 1% of the population. The resolution highlights the importance of public education and support for individuals who stutter, particularly regarding communication challenges and access to therapy. As a commemorative resolution, it has no binding effect but aims to elevate visibility of the condition.
