Relating to: proclaiming May 2026 as Lyme Disease Awareness Month.
This resolution (AR 16) declares May 2026 as Lyme Disease Awareness Month in Wisconsin. It recognizes the disease's impact - citing Wisconsin's record 6,469 cases in 2024 - and urges all residents to learn about prevention (like tick avoidance), symptoms, and early treatment. The bill has no new funding or regulations; it is a symbolic observance calling for public education on Lyme disease, not a policy change.
