Designates November 7 of each year as "Shwachman Diamond Syndrome Awareness Day" in NJ.
This bill designates November 7 of each year as Shwachman Diamond Syndrome Awareness Day in New Jersey. It aims to increase public understanding of this rare genetic disorder that affects bone marrow, the pancreas, and skeletal development. The resolution requests the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging citizens and officials to observe the day with relevant activities. This symbolic measure does not change laws or allocate funding but serves to highlight the condition and support ongoing research efforts.
