Epilepsy Awareness Month

Florida designates November 2026 as "Epilepsy Awareness Month" through House Resolution 8065. The resolution serves as a ceremonial recognition of epilepsy, highlighting its prevalence (including over 500,000 Floridians affected) and associated challenges like healthcare access barriers. It does not create new policies, funding, or legal requirements. The bill’s purpose is solely to promote public awareness during November 2026, with no direct impact on legislation or affected individuals' rights. The resolution was adopted without debate on February 18, 2026.
