National Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) Awareness Week is designated to raise awareness for Osteogenesis Imperfecta, a rare genetic disorder characterized by fragile bones and other systemic issues. The week includes "Wishbone Day" on May 6, which is the International OI Awareness Day. OI can be inherited and is caused by a mutation in collagen, affecting bone strength and other tissues. It can be present at birth or manifest later in life, affecting all genders and ethnic groups equally. In the United States, an estimated 25,000 to 50,000 people have OI, and while there is no cure, treatments focus on minimizing fractures and improving quality of life.

The resolution commemorates National OI Awareness Week from May 4 to May 11, 2024, and calls on Rhode Islanders to increase awareness and attention to this disorder. It also directs the Secretary of State to send certified copies of the resolution to relevant parties, including the RI Department of Health, the Group Coordinator for the OI RI Support Group, and an individual named Chris Partington, to further support the cause and disseminate information.
