A resolution recognizing the week of March 19 through March 25, 2023, as "National Poison Prevention Week" and encouraging communities across the United States to raise awareness of the dangers of poisoning and promote poison prevention.

This resolution designates March 19-25, 2023, as "National Poison Prevention Week" and encourages communities nationwide to raise awareness about poisoning dangers and promote prevention. It does not create new laws or directly affect specific groups, but formally recognizes the annual observance established since 1961. The resolution highlights the role of poison control centers in addressing emergencies, including opioid misuse, pediatric poisonings, and overdose cases, while urging public education on safety. It expresses gratitude for poison control workers and supports existing resources like the 1-800-222-1222 hotline. The focus is purely on awareness, not policy changes.
