A Resolution recognizing the week of May 9 through 15, 2026, as "National Stuttering Awareness Week" in Pennsylvania.
HR 414 is a Pennsylvania House resolution recognizing May 9-15, 2026, as "National Stuttering Awareness Week" in the state. It symbolically acknowledges the National Stuttering Association’s annual observance to promote understanding of stuttering, a speech disorder affecting approximately 130,000 Pennsylvanians. The resolution highlights common misconceptions about stuttering and emphasizes the importance of reducing stigma, though it does not create new programs or laws. This is a non-binding gesture by the Pennsylvania House of Representatives to support awareness, not a substantive policy change.
