Naming and Designating - Designates July 2026 as "Uterine Fibroid Awareness Month." -

SJR 580 designates July 2026 as "Uterine Fibroid Awareness Month" in Tennessee. This non-binding resolution does not create new laws or allocate funding but aims to raise public awareness about uterine fibroids - a condition affecting up to 80% of women by age 50 - by encouraging educational efforts and conversations during that month. It follows existing annual awareness campaigns and focuses on informing residents about symptoms, prevention, and treatment options. The resolution directly affects Tennesseans by promoting community engagement around this health issue.
