Designates last full week of September of each year as "Frontotemporal Degeneration Awareness Week" in NJ.
AJR 201 designates the last full week of September each year as "Frontotemporal Dementia Awareness Week" in New Jersey. This symbolic resolution, sponsored by Assemblywomen Donlon and Speight, aims to increase public awareness about frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a terminal neurodegenerative condition affecting speech, personality, and motor skills. The bill requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public observance through community activities, though it does not create new programs or funding. It directly supports New Jersey residents affected by FTD and their families by highlighting an often-misdiagnosed disease that disproportionately impacts those under 60.
