ALS Awareness Month
This bill is a Senate resolution that officially designates May 2026 as "ALS Awareness Month" in South Carolina. It aims to increase public understanding of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a progressive and fatal disease that affects muscle control and has no known cure. The resolution highlights the importance of supporting research, medical equipment access, and clinical trials for those living with the condition. As a commemorative measure, it does not change laws or allocate funding but serves to draw attention to the disease and its impact on patients and families.
