SR 83 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.

This Senate Resolution designates March 2026 as Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in California to promote education and early detection of the disease. The bill highlights the importance of screening, noting that timely tests can prevent colorectal cancer, which is a leading cause of death and disproportionately affects certain demographic groups. By officially recognizing this month, the Senate aims to encourage the public to learn about the risks and benefits of getting screened. The resolution also directs the Secretary of the Senate to send copies of the document to the sponsoring legislator for distribution.
