House concurrent resolution designating January 29, 2026, as Mental Health Advocacy Day at the State House
This resolution designates January 29, 2026, as Mental Health Advocacy Day at the Vermont State House. It directly affects the Vermont General Assembly, which formally recognizes the annual event, and mental health advocacy organizations like NAMI Vermont and the Vermont Association for Mental Health and Addiction Recovery, which will receive a copy of the resolution. The key mechanism is the official designation of the date for the existing annual advocacy event, with no new policies or funding created. The resolution serves as a ceremonial recognition of ongoing mental health advocacy efforts in Vermont.

MINOR
The bill content is unchanged. The diff reflects a transition from a draft or committee version (with page numbers, tracking number R-208, and 'No. R-208' header) to the official House-adopted formatting, which adds the standard State of Vermont / House of Representatives / Montpelier header block. No policy language was added, removed, or modified.
TECHNICAL
Replaced draft page headers (R-208, Page 1 of 1, VT LEG #387188 v.1) with the official state document header: 'State of Vermont', 'House of Representatives', 'Montpelier, Vermont', and 'Concurrent House Resolution H.C.R. 173'.
