From the enrolled text, April 22, 2026:
A resolution to designate May 2026 as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Month. Whereas, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), known by many as Lou Gehrigï¿1⁄2s disease, is a progressive, fatal neurodegenerative disease that attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord; and Whereas, ALS makes even the simplest movements including walking, speaking, and gesturing nearly impossible; and Whereas, Approximately 30,000 individuals in the United States are afflicted with ALS at any given time, with 5,000 new cases appearing annually; and Whereas, Approximately 15 new cases of ALS are diagnosed every day, with a person losing their battle with the disease every 90 minutes; and Whereas, ALS strikes people regardless of race, sex, age, or ethnicity; and Whereas, Finding the causes and cure for ALS will prevent the disease from robbing hundreds of thousands of Americans of their dignity and lives; and Whereas, Aggressive treatments of the symptoms of ALS can extend the lives of those living with the disease; and Whereas, Raising public awareness of this disease will facilitate the discovery of a cure and bring much needed funding for support and services to families in Michigan affected by ALS; now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body designate May 2026 as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Month.
