Relative to Sickle Cell Disease Awareness Month.

House Resolution 61 designates September 2025 as Sickle Cell Disease Awareness Month in California. The resolution encourages residents to raise awareness about sickle cell disease, which disproportionately affects African-Americans and other communities of color. It urges the Legislature to support funding for outreach, education, research, treatment, and monitoring of the disease, and to develop screening programs with referrals for follow-up care. This is a symbolic resolution without binding legal requirements, focusing on awareness and resource allocation.
