HR108: HR108 Dyslexia Day at the state capitol; February 4, 2025; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia House of Representatives rather than a law that changes any statute. It recognizes February 4, 2025, as Dyslexia Day at the state capitol. The resolution's preamble describes dyslexia as a common neurological learning disability that affects reading fluency and phoneme segmentation (the ability to break words into sounds), while noting that people with dyslexia often have strengths in reasoning and critical thinking. It emphasizes the value of early diagnosis and intervention. The operative part of the resolution simply designates the day and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies available to the public and press.

• Formally recognizes February 4, 2025, as Dyslexia Day at the state capitol in Georgia.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
• Does not create any new program, funding, requirement, or change to Georgia law.

The resolution mainly affects people with dyslexia, including students and adults in Georgia, along with educators and families who deal with the condition, though it creates no legal obligations for any of them.

Because this is a ceremonial resolution rather than binding law, it does not change funding, services, or legal rights for people with dyslexia. Its main effect is symbolic, drawing public and legislative attention to dyslexia and its educational impact.

• The preamble states that dyslexia affects about one in five people and roughly 80 percent of those with a learning disability.
• The resolved clause designates February 4, 2025, as Dyslexia Day at the state capitol.
• A further resolved clause directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
