Bill 118 HRES 1260, also known as the "Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Awareness Month" bill, is a piece of legislation that aims to designate the month of May 2024 as a time to raise awareness for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). PSP is a rare neurodegenerative disease that affects movement, balance, vision, speech, and cognition.
The bill expresses support for increasing awareness of PSP and the impact it has on individuals and their families. By designating May 2024 as "Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Awareness Month," the hope is to educate the public about the disease, promote research efforts, and provide support for those affected by PSP.
This legislation is non-partisan and seeks to bring attention to a lesser-known disease that can have a significant impact on those diagnosed with it. By raising awareness and advocating for research and support services, the bill aims to improve the lives of individuals living with PSP and their loved ones.
Overall, Bill 118 HRES 1260 is a positive step towards increasing awareness and support for individuals affected by Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, and it highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing rare diseases in our society.
