SR 555 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Recognizing May of 2025 as ALS Awareness Month.

Texas Senate Resolution 555 formally recognizes May 2025 as ALS Awareness Month. The resolution acknowledges ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) as a fatal neurodegenerative condition affecting motor neurons, notes that approximately 16 Americans are diagnosed daily, and highlights the ALS Association's global research funding. It does not create new laws or allocate funds but encourages Texans to support ALS research and stand in solidarity with those affected. This symbolic resolution has no direct impact on policy or affected individuals beyond raising public awareness.
