AJR 99 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates July 22 of each year as "Fragile X Awareness Day."

AJR 99 designates July 22 of each year as "Fragile X Awareness Day" in New Jersey. This procedural resolution does not create new laws or funding but aims to raise public awareness about Fragile X-associated Disorders (FXDs), which include Fragile X Syndrome (a leading genetic cause of intellectual disability and autism), FXTAS (a late-onset movement disorder), and FXPOI (a reproductive condition). The bill requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and residents to observe the day through awareness activities. It focuses on promoting better diagnosis, treatment, and research for these genetic conditions, which affect approximately 1 in 3,600-4,000 males and 1 in 4,000-6,000 females globally.
