Relative to National Stroke Awareness Month.

Senate Resolution 40 designates May 2025 as National Stroke Awareness Month in California. It urges all Californians to learn stroke risk factors and warning signs (like sudden face drooping or speech difficulty), and to call 9-1-1 immediately at the first signs of a stroke. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but promotes public education based on the "B.E.F.A.S.T." warning signs and emphasizes the urgency of early treatment ("Time Is Brain"). It directly affects all California residents by encouraging awareness and immediate emergency response.
