HR 158 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A resolution to declare August 31, 2025, as Overdose Awareness Day in the state of Michigan.

This resolution designates August 31, 2025, as Overdose Awareness Day in Michigan. It symbolically recognizes the overdose crisis - highlighting that 2,826 Michiganders died from overdoses in 2023 - and aims to promote awareness of substance use disorders, which the resolution notes affect over 48 million Americans. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but serves as a formal state acknowledgment to honor victims and reduce stigma.
