En lenguaje claro
This resolution does not change any Georgia law. It is a symbolic statement from the Georgia House of Representatives designating June 29, 2026 as Migraine and Headache Awareness Day. The resolution's preamble lays out extensive background on migraine disease, including its prevalence, effects on workers, students, and women, and its economic cost nationally and in Georgia. The operative part of the resolution simply states that House members recognize the day, and it directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available to the public and press. It does not create funding, programs, or new requirements for any state agency, school, or business.
