S 2009 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act regarding Huntington's Disease Awareness Month

This bill directs the Governor of Massachusetts to issue an annual proclamation designating May as Huntington's Disease Awareness Month. The measure directly affects state leadership by establishing a formal, yearly recognition for this specific health condition. It does not allocate funding or change medical regulations, but rather creates a symbolic observance to highlight the disease. The law takes effect immediately upon passing and serves to bring public attention to Huntington's disease during the designated month.
