RECOGNIZING SEPTEMBER 2026 AS "PROSTATE CANCER AWARENESS MONTH" IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE.

This bill formally designates September 2026 as "Prostate Cancer Awareness Month" within the State of Delaware. It directly affects state agencies and officials by establishing an official date for public awareness campaigns and educational events related to prostate cancer. The key provision is a symbolic recognition that encourages the state to highlight the importance of early detection and support for those affected by the disease. As a commemorative resolution, it does not create new laws or change funding but serves to unify state efforts around this health cause for the specified month.
