Recognizes International 22q11.2 Foundation, and designates November 22 of each year as "22q Awareness Day" in New Jersey.
This joint resolution recognizes the International 22q11.2 Foundation and designates November 22 of each year as "22q Awareness Day" in New Jersey. It aims to increase public awareness of genetic conditions related to chromosome 22q11.2 variations (such as DiGeorge Syndrome and velocardiofacial syndrome), encourage early diagnosis, and support families affected by these conditions. The resolution requests the governor issue an annual proclamation to observe the day, highlighting the Foundation's work in connecting families and consolidating information about these conditions. It does not create new laws or funding but serves as a symbolic acknowledgment of the Foundation's efforts.
