Bill > ACR146

This concurrent resolution officially designates March 2026 as Bleeding Disorders Awareness Month in California. The resolution highlights that bleeding disorders, such as hemophilia and Von Willebrand disease, affect a significant number of Californians and can lead to severe health consequences like spontaneous bleeding, chronic pain, disability, and even death if left untreated. It acknowledges the historical impact of HIV and hepatitis C infections on individuals with hemophilia due to contaminated blood supplies and emphasizes that with proper medical care and access to resources, including federally recognized hemophilia treatment centers, individuals with these conditions can lead productive lives. The resolution aims to increase public understanding of inheritable bleeding disorders, foster a sense of community among those affected, and promote preventative measures to reduce illness and disability.
