Bill > S08643

This bill establishes the "Neurodiversity Strength Flag" as the official state flag, with the purpose of raising awareness about neurodiversity, which refers to the idea that variations in brain function and behavioral traits are normal and valuable differences, rather than deficits. The bill amends existing state law by adding a new section that designates this flag and mandates that it be developed by the autism spectrum disorders advisory board, a group responsible for providing guidance on autism spectrum disorders, and updated as needed.
