Designating May as Necrotizing Enterocolitis and Breastfeeding Awareness Month for a 10-year period ending in 2035.

HCR 56 is a symbolic resolution designating May as "Necrotizing Enterocolitis and Breastfeeding Awareness Month" for a 10-year period ending in 2035. It does not create new laws or funding but formally recognizes the importance of breastfeeding in preventing necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a life-threatening intestinal condition affecting premature infants. The resolution highlights NEC's high mortality rate (10-50%) and emphasizes breastfeeding as a key preventative measure, referencing organizations like the Mothers' Milk Bank of North Texas. This designation aims to raise public awareness about NEC and breastfeeding benefits, with no direct policy changes or financial obligations. (Note: As a concurrent resolution, it is procedural and does not require gubernatorial approval beyond the legislative process.)
