The bill S. 637 aims to amend Section 44-36-330 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to the statewide plan for addressing Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The amendment mandates that the advisory council responsible for the plan must utilize data from the Alzheimer's Disease Registry to inform the development of the statewide plan. Additionally, it stipulates that this registry must be funded through the annual general appropriations act. The plan itself is required to be updated every five years.

This legislation emphasizes the importance of data-driven approaches in tackling Alzheimer's disease and ensures that necessary funding is allocated for the Alzheimer's Disease Registry. The bill is currently under consideration in the Senate Committee on Medical Affairs and will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
