Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week; March 8-14, 2026; recognize
HR 1356 designates March 8-14, 2026, as Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week, formally recognizing this period to highlight multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic neurological condition affecting nearly 1 million people in the U.S. The bill directly supports the National Multiple Sclerosis Society by endorsing its mission to raise public awareness and advance research toward a cure. It has no funding or policy changes - it is a symbolic resolution to acknowledge MS impact and the Society’s work, including its $1 billion in research investment since 1946. The resolution was adopted by the Georgia House of Representatives on February 12, 2026.
