HOUSE RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING MARCH 20, 2026, TO BE "ALZHEIMER'S AWARENESS DAY" IN THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND

This bill designates March 20, 2026, as Alzheimer's Awareness Day in Rhode Island to highlight the impact of Alzheimer's disease on the state's residents. The resolution acknowledges the disease's prevalence, noting that over 24,000 Rhode Islanders are affected and that caregiving places significant strain on families. It authorizes the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of the resolution to the Alzheimer's Association Rhode Island Chapter to support awareness efforts. The measure focuses on raising public consciousness about Alzheimer's rather than implementing new policies or funding changes.
