An Act establishing Getting to Zero Week

HD 1586 designates December 1-8 each year as "Getting to Zero Week" through an annual governor's proclamation. The bill requires the governor to issue this proclamation to raise public awareness about ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the Commonwealth, specifically focusing on achieving "zero new cases, zero HIV-related deaths, and zero stigma." It does not create new programs or funding but directs the public to observe the week through appropriate community actions. This procedural bill affects all residents of the Commonwealth by setting a designated time for community awareness efforts.
