The resolution designates March of each year as Amyloidosis Awareness Month in New Jersey. It aims to raise public awareness about amyloidosis, a group of diseases characterized by the accumulation of abnormal proteins called amyloid fibrils in various tissues and organs, which can lead to significant health issues and impaired quality of life. The resolution highlights the challenges in diagnosing amyloidosis due to its symptoms often resembling those of more common illnesses, and emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis to prevent further organ damage.

By establishing Amyloidosis Awareness Month, the resolution seeks to educate the public on the signs and symptoms of the disease, thereby potentially extending the life expectancy of individuals who may be unaware of their condition. It calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to engage in activities and programs that promote awareness and understanding of amyloidosis, ultimately aiming to improve the quality of life for those affected by the disease.
