Urges Governor to direct all relevant State departments and agencies to help decrease number of fatalities caused by atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

SCR 38 is a New Jersey legislative resolution urging the Governor to direct state agencies to reduce fatalities from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). It specifically requests departments to review policies, collaborate on cardiovascular screening programs, and update the state's cardiovascular plan to improve screening and treatment. The resolution directly affects New Jersey residents with ASCVD, including an estimated 566,100 adults diagnosed with related conditions (e.g., heart attack, stroke) as of 2019. As a procedural resolution - not a binding law - it encourages agency action but does not create new legal requirements.
