The bill establishes May 12 of each year 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 encourages civic groups and the public to engage in suitable activities to recognize the day.

To implement this, the bill amends Alaska Statute 44.12 by adding a new section that formally designates May 12 as ME/CFS Day of Recognition. The legislation emphasizes the importance of public awareness and community involvement in recognizing the challenges faced by individuals with this condition.
