National OI Awareness Week is dedicated to raising awareness for Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), a rare genetic disorder characterized by fragile bones and other systemic issues such as dental problems, hearing loss, and muscle weakness. The week includes "Wishbone Day" on May 6, which is the International OI Awareness Day. OI can affect anyone, though individuals with a family history are at higher risk. It is caused by a mutation in the collagen protein, affecting bone strength and other tissues. The condition is lifelong, affects all genders and races equally, and is present in an estimated 25,000 to 50,000 people in the United States. There is no cure for OI, and treatments focus on managing symptoms and improving quality of life.

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