Maddy summaryThis resolution formally designates April 2025 as "Alcohol Awareness Month" in Rhode Island. It serves as a symbolic proclamation highlighting alcohol abuse as a public health concern, citing state-specific statistics like 599 annual alcohol-related deaths and high binge-drinking rates. The resolution does not create new laws, funding, or mandates - it simply urges community participation in existing awareness efforts. It directs the Secretary of State to notify the Governor and health officials of the designation. (This is a procedural resolution, not a policy bill.)
