A Resolution recognizing October 24, 2026, as "World Polio Day" in Pennsylvania.
This Pennsylvania House resolution designates October 24, 2026, as "World Polio Day" within the state to honor global efforts to eradicate polio. The measure highlights the contributions of Rotary International and its partners, such as the World Health Organization and the Gates Foundation, in reducing polio cases by 99.9% since 1988. While the bill does not change laws or allocate funding, it formally acknowledges the organization's humanitarian work and encourages citizens to participate in the fight against the disease.
