HJ 78 Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month.

HJ 78 designates September 2026 and every subsequent September as "Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month" in Virginia. This commemorative resolution does not create new laws or funding but formally recognizes the month to raise public awareness about pulmonary fibrosis, a lung disease affecting residents. The bill directly affects Virginians by encouraging community education and support efforts during this designated month. It is a symbolic gesture, not a policy change with concrete regulatory or financial provisions.
