Bill Summary
Designates November 13th each year as "Believe in Gianna Day"
AI Summary
This bill designates November 13th as "Believe in Gianna Day" in Missouri, creating a new state observance to raise awareness about Sanfilippo syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that causes progressive neurological decline in children, similar to Alzheimer's disease. The bill specifically honors Gianna Wacker, a Missouri resident who has survived beyond the typical life expectancy for children with this condition. By establishing this commemorative day, the state aims to encourage citizens to participate in events and activities that educate the public about Sanfilippo syndrome and celebrate the resilience of individuals like Gianna who are living with this challenging disorder. The bill amends Chapter 9 of the Missouri Revised Statutes by adding a new section that officially recognizes this annual day of awareness and recognition.
