SCR 45 Delaware Senate · 153rd General Assembly (2025-2026)

RECOGNIZING THE WEEK OF APRIL 11 THROUGH APRIL 17, 2025 AS "BLACK MATERNAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK" IN DELAWARE.

SCR 45 is a symbolic resolution designating April 11-17, 2025, as "Black Maternal Health Awareness Week" in Delaware. It officially recognizes this period to raise public awareness about maternal health disparities affecting Black women in the state. The resolution does not create new laws, alter policies, or impose obligations; it serves solely as a formal acknowledgment of the issue. This is a procedural, non-binding gesture to highlight an important health equity concern.
