HR 1020 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Resolution; Frontotemporal Dementia Awareness Week.

This resolution designates the last week of September (September 21-28, 2025) as "Frontotemporal Dementia Awareness Week" in Oklahoma. It aims to raise public awareness about frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a condition often misdiagnosed that affects behavior, language, and personality, primarily impacting adults aged 45-64. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but formally recognizes the disease's challenges - including a $120,000 annual economic burden per family - to encourage greater understanding and support for affected individuals and families. It was adopted by the Oklahoma House of Representatives and signed into effect.
