SENATE RESOLUTION DECLARING MAY OF 2024 TO BE "BRAIN TUMOR AWARENESS MONTH" IN THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND

This Senate resolution declares May 2024 as "Brain Tumor Awareness Month" in Rhode Island to highlight the urgent need for public awareness and research into brain tumors. The bill directly affects the state by officially recognizing the month and authorizing the Secretary of State to send certified copies of the resolution to the American Brain Tumor Association. It does not change laws or allocate funding but serves as a symbolic gesture to acknowledge the challenges associated with brain cancer and the importance of advancing treatment and early detection strategies.
