A Resolution designating August 31, 2024, as "Overdose Awareness Day" in Pennsylvania.

This bill designates August 31, 2024, as "Overdose Awareness Day" throughout Pennsylvania to raise public awareness about drug overdoses and reduce the stigma associated with them. It asks the governor to issue a proclamation and order flags to be flown at half-staff on that date, encouraging officials and residents to participate in related activities. The measure aims to honor those affected by overdose deaths and injuries while promoting a message that addiction is a preventable issue and that individuals are valued. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new laws or funding but serves to highlight the ongoing impact of the drug crisis in the state.
