AJR 190 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates May 7 of each year as "Cystinosis Awareness Day" in New Jersey.

AJR 190 designates May 7 of each year as "Cystinosis Awareness Day" in New Jersey. This symbolic resolution aims to raise public awareness about cystinosis, a rare genetic disorder causing cystine crystal buildup that damages organs like kidneys and eyes. It specifically requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging state agencies, organizations, and citizens to participate in awareness activities. The bill directly supports individuals affected by cystinosis - approximately 500-600 Americans, including children in New Jersey - and advances efforts to improve early detection and access to treatment for this condition.
