HCR 16 Delaware House · 153rd General Assembly (2025-2026)

RECOGNIZING THE MONTH OF MARCH AS MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS MONTH IN DELAWARE.

HCR 16 is a symbolic resolution designating March 2025 as "Multiple Sclerosis Month" in Delaware. It does not create new laws or allocate funds but formally recognizes the month to raise awareness about multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic nervous system disease affecting an estimated 2.3 million people worldwide. The resolution calls on Delaware residents to learn about MS and support those diagnosed with the condition. This is a ceremonial gesture with no direct policy impact, aligning with national MS Awareness Month efforts.
