Expressing support for the designation of January 30, 2024, as CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) and RHI (repeated head impacts) Awareness Day.

Bill 118 HRES 984, also known as the Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and Repeated Head Impacts (RHI) Awareness Day resolution, aims to designate January 30, 2024, as a day to raise awareness about the dangers of CTE and RHI. CTE is a degenerative brain disease that has been linked to repeated head injuries, particularly in contact sports like football. RHI refers to the cumulative effect of multiple head impacts over time.

The resolution expresses support for efforts to educate the public about the risks associated with CTE and RHI, as well as the importance of early detection and prevention. It also recognizes the impact that these conditions can have on individuals, families, and communities.

By designating January 30, 2024, as CTE and RHI Awareness Day, the resolution aims to bring attention to these important issues and encourage further research, education, and support for those affected by CTE and RHI. It is a step towards raising awareness and promoting the health and safety of individuals participating in activities that may put them at risk for these conditions.
