Bill > HJR0909

This resolution, a formal expression of opinion by the Tennessee House of Representatives and Senate, designates March 2026 as "Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month" in Tennessee. The resolution highlights that bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia and von Willebrand disease, affect many Tennesseans and can lead to severe health complications including chronic pain, disability, and even death if left untreated. It acknowledges the historical impact of HIV and Hepatitis C infections from contaminated blood products on individuals with hemophilia and emphasizes that with proper care and access to specialized treatment centers, those with these conditions can lead productive lives. The month is intended to increase public understanding of inheritable bleeding disorders, foster community among affected individuals, and promote prevention of illness and disability.
