HR 255 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A resolution to declare March 2026 as Kidney Month in the state of Michigan.

This bill declares March 2026 as Kidney Month in Michigan to raise public awareness about chronic kidney disease. It does not change laws or allocate funding but serves as a symbolic resolution to highlight the importance of kidney health. The measure aims to encourage early detection and screening for kidney disease, which often has no symptoms until advanced stages. By designating this month, the legislature supports ongoing efforts by health organizations to educate Michigan residents about kidney disease risks and prevention.
