This bill aims to officially recognize June 7, 2026, as "Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day". The purpose is to raise awareness about Tourette Syndrome, a neurological condition that causes repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. The bill is supported by both Democrats and Republicans and seeks to highlight the importance of understanding and supporting those affected by this condition.

This recognition would affect individuals and families dealing with Tourette Syndrome, as well as educators, healthcare providers, and policymakers. By raising awareness, the bill aims to improve understanding, reduce stigma, and potentially lead to better support systems and resources for those affected.

As of June 4, 2026, the bill has been introduced and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The next steps will involve committee review, possible amendments, and a vote before it can move forward in the legislative process.
