Designates November 13th each year as "Believe in Gianna Day"
HB 604 designates November 13th each year as "Believe in Gianna Day" in Missouri. The bill encourages Missouri citizens to participate in events raising awareness about Sanfilippo syndrome - a condition causing Alzheimer's-like symptoms in children - and to celebrate Gianna Wacker, a Missourian who has exceeded life expectancy with the syndrome. It is a commemorative resolution with no binding policy changes, directly affecting the public through annual observance. The bill passed the House committee unanimously (8-0) but was recently postponed in legislative proceedings.
