Bill Summary
By Representatives Badger of Plymouth and Garballey of Arlington, a petition (subject to Joint Rule 12) of Michelle L. Badger for the issuance of an annual proclamation by the Governor to designate October 15th as lobular breast cancer awareness day. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 6 of the Massachusetts General Laws by adding a new section that requires the governor to issue an annual proclamation on October 15th designating it as Lobular Breast Cancer Awareness Day. The purpose of this proclamation is to raise public awareness about lobular breast cancer, a specific type of breast cancer that begins in the milk-producing glands (lobules) of the breast, and to encourage research into this disease. By establishing this annual awareness day, the bill aims to draw attention to the unique characteristics and challenges of lobular breast cancer, which can be different from the more common ductal breast cancer in terms of detection and treatment. The proclamation would recommend that the public observe the day in an appropriate manner, potentially through educational events, fundraising, or increased support for research and patient care.
