Bill > SB00958

This bill proposes to amend section 10-29a of the general statutes to officially designate a week in May of each year as Face Equity Week, with the purpose of acknowledging and raising awareness about individuals with facial differences. By creating this dedicated week, the bill aims to promote understanding, respect, and support for people who have variations in facial appearance, which may result from conditions such as birthmarks, scars, genetic disorders, or other medical conditions that affect facial features. The designation of a specific week provides an opportunity for communities to learn about facial diversity, challenge potential stigmas, and recognize the dignity and value of individuals regardless of their physical appearance. While the bill does not specify detailed activities or requirements for Face Equity Week, it represents an important symbolic gesture toward inclusivity and recognition of people with facial differences.
