SENATE RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING FEBRUARY OF 2026, AS "NATIONAL CHILDREN'S DENTAL HEALTH MONTH" IN THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND

This is a symbolic resolution (SR 2515), not a law. It designates February 2026 as "National Children's Dental Health Month" in Rhode Island. The resolution recognizes the importance of children's oral health, highlights challenges like preventable cavities and access barriers, and encourages residents to support existing efforts promoting oral health education and preventive care. It does not create new programs or change funding; it simply makes a formal acknowledgment to raise awareness.
