Designates September of each year as "Chiari Malformation-Syringomyelia Awareness Month."
SJR 65 designates September of each year as "Chiari Malformation-Syringomyelia Awareness Month" in New Jersey. The bill requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation to encourage public awareness activities about Chiari Malformation (CM) and Syringomyelia (SM), neurological conditions affecting approximately 1 in 2,000 people. It does not create new laws, funding, or medical requirements, but aims to increase public and medical understanding of these conditions. The resolution urges New Jersey citizens and officials to observe the designated month with educational efforts.
