SCR 140 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to Parkinson's Disease Awareness Month.

This bill designates April 2026 as Parkinson's Disease Awareness Month in California. It directly affects state officials and the public by formally recognizing the importance of raising awareness for this specific health condition. The primary mechanism is a legislative proclamation that appears in the state statutes to mark the month. This action serves as an official acknowledgment of the disease without changing laws or funding.

MINOR
No substantive policy changes were made. The diff reflects a change in document presentation format only, moving from a traditional chaptered legislative document (with page numbers and formal headers) to a web-based display of the same bill text on the California Legislature website. All WHEREAS clauses, the digest, and the operative resolutions are identical between versions.
TECHNICAL

The document was reformatted from a traditional chaptered legislative layout (with page numbers, centered headers, and 'Res. Ch. 55' running heads) to a web page format including navigation elements, search boxes, bill metadata links, and a 'Digest Key' section. No policy language was added, removed, or altered.
