AI Summary

This bill establishes the month of May as Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month in the state. The governor will issue an annual proclamation to increase public awareness and understanding of cystic fibrosis, a progressive genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time. Although significant progress has been made in treating this disease, there is still no cure, and many young lives are cut short. The proclamation will encourage the people to observe the month of May in an appropriate manner.
