SR 42 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Awareness Month.

Senate Resolution 42 designates May 2025 as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Awareness Month in California. It does not create new laws, funding, or direct policy changes - it is a symbolic resolution to raise public awareness about ALS, a progressive neurodegenerative disease. The resolution highlights ALS statistics (e.g., diagnosis every 90 minutes, limited survival rates), notes military service connections, and emphasizes support for research and advocacy. It calls on Californians to support ALS research and stand in solidarity with affected individuals and families. This is a ceremonial measure with no concrete policy impact.
