Lung Cancer Awareness Month

This bill is a concurrent resolution that officially designates November 2026 as "Lung Cancer Awareness Month" in South Carolina. The measure directly affects state government officials and the general public by establishing a specific time period for heightened focus on lung cancer issues. The resolution includes background information noting that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the state and that many cases are linked to factors beyond smoking. By declaring this month, the General Assembly aims to increase public awareness and encourage screening and biomarker testing without mandating any new laws or funding.
