Bill > H6375

This resolution recognizes May 30, 2025, as "World MS Day" in Rhode Island, drawing attention to Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a neurological disease affecting 2.9 million people worldwide and approximately 2,319 adults in Rhode Island. The resolution highlights that MS typically impacts individuals between ages 20-50, with no known cause or cure, and emphasizes the critical work of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, which has invested over $1 billion in research since 1946. The House of Representatives acknowledges the society's mission to stop MS, restore lost function, and ultimately end the disease, expressing appreciation for their dedication to research and awareness. The resolution formally recognizes the importance of finding a cause and cure for MS and designates May 30, 2025, as a day to commemorate and raise awareness about the disease. Additionally, the resolution directs the Secretary of State to send a certified copy of the resolution to Peter Porrino, the Chairman of the Board of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, as a gesture of formal recognition and support.
