The bill establishes May 12 as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Day of Recognition in the state of Alaska. This new observance aims to raise awareness about ME/CFS and can be recognized through various activities and events organized by civic groups and the public.

To implement this recognition, the bill amends Alaska Statutes (AS) 44.12 by adding a new section, specifically Sec. 44.12.167, which formally designates May 12 each year as the designated day for this purpose. This addition highlights the importance of acknowledging and supporting individuals affected by ME/CFS.
