LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SR 95, Niello.
WHEREAS, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive fatal neurodegenerative disease in which a person’s brain loses connection with their muscles, slowly reducing a person’s ability to walk, talk, eat, and eventually breathe; and
WHEREAS, Thousands of new ALS cases are reported every year, and estimates show that every 90 minutes someone is diagnosed with ALS and someone passes away from ALS; and
WHEREAS, On average, patients diagnosed with ALS survive only two to five years from the time of diagnosis; and
WHEREAS, The exact causes of ALS are unknown and there is no known cure for ALS; and
WHEREAS, People who have served in the military are more likely to develop ALS and die from the disease than those with no history of military service; and
WHEREAS, Securing access to new therapies, durable medical equipment, and communication technologies is of vital importance to people living with ALS; and
WHEREAS, Clinical trials play a pivotal role in evaluating new treatments, enhancing quality of life, and fostering assistive technologies for those living with ALS; and
WHEREAS, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Awareness Month provides an opportunity to increase public awareness of the dire circumstances of people living with ALS, acknowledge the terrible impact this disease has on those individuals and their families, and support research to eradicate this disease; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, That the Senate hereby proclaims the month of May 2026 as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Awareness Month, and calls upon all Americans to join in supporting ALS research, advocating for increased funding, and standing in solidarity with those affected by this relentless disease; and be it further
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
