HJ 89 Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Long QT Syndrome Awareness Day.

HJ 89 is a symbolic resolution designating May 9, 2026, and every year thereafter, as Long QT Syndrome Awareness Day in Virginia. It does not create new laws or affect individuals directly; instead, it formally recognizes the need for public awareness about Long QT Syndrome, a rare heart condition. The bill’s sole mechanism is the annual designation of this specific date for educational and commemorative purposes within the Commonwealth. This resolution has advanced through committee stages but remains a non-binding commemorative measure.

MINOR

The bill transitioned from its initial introduction to its final enrolled version, primarily undergoing significant formatting and layout adjustments rather than substantive policy changes. The text content regarding Long QT Syndrome Awareness Day remains identical, but the document structure was altered to include official session headers, committee referral history, and approval dates from both the House and Senate. These changes reflect the standard legislative process of a bill moving through committees and chambers before final approval.

Scope change

No change in the bill's scope or applicability; the designated date and purpose remain the same.

TECHNICAL

The document layout was reorganized to include official session headers, committee referral notes, and specific approval dates for the House and Senate, reflecting its progression from introduction to final enrolled status.

Text formatting was adjusted to fit standard legislative print widths, resulting in line breaks and spacing changes within the WHEREAS and RESOLVED clauses without altering the meaning.

Official status markers such as 'ENROLLED', 'Agreed to by the House of Delegates', and 'Agreed to by the Senate' were added to confirm the bill's final passage.
