Bill > SR21

This resolution designates January 29, 2026, as Jan Lilly-Stewart Disability Advocacy Day at the Capitol, a day intended to raise awareness among legislators, policymakers, and the public about issues important to individuals with disabilities in West Virginia. The resolution highlights that a significant portion of West Virginians have disabilities and emphasizes their right to live, work, and participate fully in their communities, as well as their right to self-determination and independence. It acknowledges the collective efforts of various organizations, including the Fair Shake Initiative, which is a program of the WV Statewide Independent Living Council, in bringing the concerns of people with disabilities to public attention and serving as a resource for policymakers. The resolution also directs the Clerk to send a copy of this designation to Paul W. Smith of the Independent Living Council.
