En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a law that changes anyone's rights or obligations. It states that dyslexia is a neurological learning disability affecting about one in five people and roughly 80 percent of those with a learning disability, and explains that people with dyslexia often struggle with reading and sounding out words despite having strong reasoning and thinking skills. The resolution formally designates February 4, 2025 as Dyslexia Day at the state capitol. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to make copies available to the public and the press. The resolution does not create any new programs, funding, or legal requirements; it is a symbolic statement by the Senate.
