Designates October 23 of each year as "Aromatic L-amino Acid Decarboxylase Deficiency Awareness Day."
SJR 81 designates October 23 of each year as "Aromatic L-amino Acid Decarboxylase Deficiency Awareness Day" in New Jersey. This resolution aims to raise public and medical awareness about AADC deficiency, a rare genetic disorder affecting approximately 1 in 100,000 people that causes severe developmental delays and requires lifelong caregiver support. The bill requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging New Jersey residents, officials, and organizations to observe the day through awareness activities. It does not create new laws or funding but formally recognizes this condition to support affected individuals and their caregivers.
