HR 1696: Executive Function Day at the state capitol; March 25, 2026; recognize

This resolution does not change any Georgia law. Instead, it formally recognizes March 25, 2026 as Executive Function Day at the state capitol, timed to coincide with National Brain Awareness Month. The resolution explains why the House considers the topic important, citing research linking executive function (skills like self-regulation, working memory, task completion, and time management) to reading comprehension and overall academic success. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies available for distribution to members of the State Board of Education, the public, and the press. It contains no funding, mandates, or enforcement mechanisms; it is a symbolic statement by the House of Representatives.

• Recognizes March 25, 2026 as Executive Function Day at the state capitol during National Brain Awareness Month.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to the State Board of Education, the public, and the press.
• Creates no new legal requirements, funding, or programs; it is a ceremonial statement rather than a change to Georgia law.

The resolution mainly touches the State Board of Education, which receives copies, and Georgia students and educators whose work in personalized learning and cognitive skill-building is highlighted, though no group faces any new legal obligation.

Because the resolution carries no legal force, it does not change how schools operate or how students are taught. Its practical effect is limited to public recognition and distributing informational copies to the State Board of Education, the public, and the press.

• The whereas clauses lay out the House's reasoning, describing executive function as skills such as self-regulation, working memory, cognitive flexibility, and time management tied to reading and academic success.
• The resolving clause formally designates March 25, 2026 as Executive Function Day at the state capitol.
• A further resolving clause directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies to the State Board of Education, the public, and the press.
