Bill > HR463

This resolution designates March as Autoimmune Disease Awareness Month in the State of Georgia, recognizing that autoimmune diseases significantly impact thousands of Georgians, particularly women and people of color, while awareness and understanding remain low. The resolution calls for state, county, and municipal governments, businesses, and citizens to participate in programs and activities that increase education and awareness about autoimmune diseases, which are chronic and often invisible illnesses. Additionally, the resolution requests that the Governor issue an annual proclamation recognizing the month and encourages people to observe March with appropriate programs and activities. The underlying goal is to raise public awareness, promote early detection and diagnosis, support research and policy initiatives, and demonstrate the state's commitment to health equity for those facing autoimmune diseases. The resolution also directs the House of Representatives Clerk to distribute copies of the resolution to Governor Brian Kemp, the public, and the press.
