En lenguaje claro
This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives designates March 8-14, 2026 as Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week. It does not change any law; it is a symbolic statement recognizing multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease of the central nervous system with no known cause or cure, and the work of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society in funding research and supporting patients. The resolution recites background information about MS, including that it affects nearly 1 million people in the United States and is typically diagnosed between ages 20 and 50. It formally resolves that House members recognize the awareness week, and it directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy of the resolution to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
