SENATE RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING APRIL OF 2025, TO BE "PARKINSON'S AWARENESS MONTH" IN THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND
This Senate Resolution (SR 920) symbolically proclaims April 2025 as "Parkinson's Awareness Month" in Rhode Island. It does not create new laws or allocate funding but formally recognizes Parkinson's Disease through a state-wide proclamation. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to share the proclamation with the American Parkinson Disease Association, Rhode Island Chapter. It aims to raise public awareness about Parkinson's Disease, which affects roughly 1,000-2,000 people in Rhode Island, though it does not change policies or services.
