[Congressional Bills 119th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [H. Res. 1341 Introduced in House (IH)] <DOC> 119th CONGRESS 2d Session H. RES. 1341 Expressing support for the recognition of June 7, 2026, as ``Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day''. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES June 4, 2026 Mr. Garbarino (for himself, Mr. Cohen, Mr. Fitzpatrick, Ms. McBride, Mrs. Dingell, and Mr. Lieu) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform _______________________________________________________________________ RESOLUTION Expressing support for the recognition of June 7, 2026, as ``Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day''. Whereas Tourette Syndrome is an inherited neurological disorder that is characterized by involuntary physical and vocal tics that occur many times a day; Whereas Tourette Syndrome is often accompanied by other mental health disorders such as attention deficit and obsessive compulsive disorder, learning disabilities, and anxiety; Whereas Tourette Syndrome and Persistent Tic Disorders affect approximately 1 in 50 children; Whereas more than 30,000 school age children in the State of Tennessee and 82,000 in New York alone are dealing with Tourette Syndrome; Whereas, although some of these cases are aided by medication, there is no standard treatment or known cure for the disorder; Whereas there is an important need for more professional help with interest and expertise to identify, counsel, and treat people with Tourette Syndrome, a disorder that is often misdiagnosed and misunderstood; Whereas positive actions to assist children and families living with Tourette Syndrome would result from a broadening of public and professional knowledge and acceptance of Tourette Syndrome; Whereas the Tourette Association of America is actively providing services to families, educating medical professionals and teachers, and supporting research to better understand the signs and treatments of Tourette Syndrome; and Whereas June 7, 2026, would be an appropriate date to recognize as ``Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day'': Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives expresses support for the recognition of ``Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day'' as a special day to promote understanding, compassion, and acceptance for all of our fellow citizens who deserve and need our support to break the stigma that surrounds Tourette Syndrome. <all>
