Bill > SJR26

This Joint Resolution officially designates October of each year as "Eczema Awareness Month" in New Jersey to raise public understanding of eczema, a group of skin conditions causing redness, itching, and inflammation that affects millions of Americans, including over 13% of New Jersey residents, and to foster a sense of community for those living with the condition. The resolution acknowledges that while eczema has no cure, it can be treated, and highlights the significant financial and emotional burdens it places on individuals, emphasizing the need for increased research, education, and public awareness to improve care and reduce stigma. Furthermore, it respectfully requests the Governor to issue an annual proclamation for this observance and directs that copies of the resolution be sent to the National Eczema Association.
