Designates month of March of each year as "Amyloidosis Awareness Month."
SJR 140 designates March of each year as "Amyloidosis Awareness Month" in New Jersey. This symbolic resolution aims to educate the public about amyloidosis - a rare disease involving abnormal protein buildup in organs - and its symptoms, such as fatigue, swelling, and nerve issues. It does not create new laws or provide funding but requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public awareness activities. The resolution directly affects New Jersey residents by promoting early diagnosis, which can help improve outcomes for those with the disease. It is a procedural measure focused on public education, not policy or treatment changes.
