A resolution to declare May 2024 as ALS Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

This bill designates May 2024 as ALS Awareness Month in Michigan to highlight the impact of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The resolution acknowledges the severity of the condition, noting its lack of a cure and the heightened risk for military veterans, while emphasizing the importance of research and support for patients and their families. By officially declaring this month, the legislature aims to increase public understanding of the disease and encourage community solidarity. The measure does not allocate funds or change laws but serves as a symbolic gesture to promote awareness and support for ongoing medical efforts.
