This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially declare May 12-18, 2024, as Fibromyalgia Awareness Week.

It also acknowledges the work of the Fibromyalgia Task Force of New York State in advocating for improved diagnosis and treatment. The bill is a symbolic gesture intended to increase public awareness rather than changing specific laws or funding.
