Nonopioid Alternatives Awareness Month

This House Resolution designates May 2026 as "Nonopioid Alternatives Awareness Month" in Florida. It aims to increase public awareness about the risks of opioids and promote nonopioid pain management therapies as safer alternatives, referencing ongoing opioid crisis statistics and CDC guidance. The resolution is symbolic - it does not create new laws, funding, or requirements - but encourages community focus on pain management options during that month. It directly affects Floridians through public education efforts during the designated awareness period.
