Designates month of November as "Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Awareness Month" in NJ.
This bill designates November as "Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (RSDS) Awareness Month" in New Jersey. It does not create new programs or change funding but formally recognizes the need for public education about RSDS (also known as complex regional pain syndrome), a chronic condition causing severe pain and tissue changes. The bill requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public awareness activities during November, building on an existing 2007 education program within the Department of Health. It directly affects New Jersey residents and healthcare providers by promoting early recognition of RSDS symptoms, though it has no direct legal or financial impact beyond the symbolic designation.
