HR 944 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Recognizing October 2025 as Rett Syndrome Awareness Month.

This resolution designates October 2025 as Rett Syndrome Awareness Month in Texas. It does not create new laws, funding, or programs, but formally recognizes the condition through a symbolic resolution. The bill encourages Texans to learn more about Rett syndrome, a rare genetic neurological disorder primarily affecting females, which causes developmental regression and requires lifelong care. It references ongoing research and the work of the International Rett Syndrome Foundation, but the resolution itself has no binding effect.
