AN ACT DESIGNATING NEUROFIBROMATOSIS AWARENESS DAY.

HB 5423 designates February 14th of each year as Neurofibromatosis Awareness Day in the state. The bill amends existing law to formally recognize this date for raising public awareness about neurofibromatosis, a genetic condition that can cause nerve tumors and affect development of the brain, heart, bones, and skin - often beginning in childhood. This procedural bill does not create new policies or funding but establishes an annual observance to increase understanding of the condition. It directly affects the neurofibromatosis community by providing a designated day for education and advocacy efforts.
