Overdose Awareness Day
SB 140 requires Maryland's Governor to annually proclaim August 31 as Overdose Awareness Day. The bill amends Maryland law to establish this official recognition, aligning with a global observance held on that date. It directly affects the Governor's office by mandating this annual proclamation, with no new funding or programs. The bill is procedural and focuses solely on formal recognition, not on changing public health policies or services. It takes effect July 1, 2025.
