An Act To Designate November As Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month
LD 254 designates November of each year as Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month in Maine. The bill requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging Mainers to observe the month through appropriate activities that raise awareness about pancreatic cancer. This is a procedural designation with no new funding or regulations; it simply establishes an annual observance to promote public education on the disease. The measure directly affects all Maine residents through the Governor's annual proclamation.
