A RESOLUTION recognizing May 2025 as Myositis Awareness Month.

HR 16 is a symbolic resolution introduced by Kentucky's House of Representatives to recognize May 2025 as Myositis Awareness Month. It does not create new laws or provide funding, but formally acknowledges myositis - a group of rare autoimmune muscle diseases affecting thousands of Kentuckians and Americans - as part of efforts to increase public awareness. The resolution highlights challenges like delayed diagnosis, limited treatment options, and health disparities faced by patients, particularly women and people of color. This procedural resolution was adopted by voice vote on March 28, 2025.
