Establishes multiple sclerosis public awareness campaign.
This bill establishes a public awareness campaign within New Jersey's Department of Health to educate residents about multiple sclerosis (MS). It requires the department to develop and distribute accessible materials - available online and in print (including English and Spanish) - covering MS causes, symptoms, treatment options, available resources, and quality-of-life management strategies. The campaign aims to improve public understanding of MS, which affects an estimated 1 million people in the U.S., including many New Jersey residents. The materials will be updated as new information becomes available through the department's website.
