California Cementing Its Commitment to Disability Services with the Passage of ACR 232

The California State Legislature has officially passed Assembly Concurrent Resolution (ACR) 232, declaring the week of September 13 to September 19, 2026, as Direct Support Professional (DSP) Recognition Week across the state. The resolution, which was filed with the Secretary of State as Res. Chapter 217 on August 27, 2026, marks a complete legislative victory for the state’s disability advocacy communities. 
Authored by Assemblymember John Harabedian and co-authored by Senator Eloise Gómez Reyes, the resolution honors the frontline professionals who serve as the backbone of California’s developmental service system.
