This bill designates September 26, 2024, as Mesothelioma Awareness Day in Vermont to raise public awareness about the disease. It directly affects Vermont residents who may be impacted by mesothelioma, a cancer linked to asbestos exposure, particularly those living near former mining sites or in older buildings containing asbestos materials. The resolution includes background information on the disease's symptoms, prevalence, and Vermont's historical connection to asbestos mining and use. The General Assembly formally recognizes this date to encourage education and support for those affected by mesothelioma.
