AJR 114 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates last day of February of each year as "Rare Disease Awareness Day" in New Jersey.

AJR 114 designates the last day of February each year as "Rare Disease Awareness Day" in New Jersey. This symbolic resolution directly affects New Jersey residents living with rare diseases - defined as conditions impacting fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. - along with their families and caregivers. The bill requires the governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public awareness, support, and research efforts for rare diseases, which collectively affect nearly 30 million Americans. It does not create new laws, funding, or services, but aligns New Jersey with a national observance to reduce isolation and promote understanding of these conditions.
