The bill H. 5077, introduced in the South Carolina House of Representatives, aims to declare March 2026 as "Brain Injury Awareness Month" in the state. The resolution seeks to support brain injury survivors and their families, raise public awareness about the prevalence of brain injuries, and emphasize the importance of prevention and treatment. It highlights the significant impact of acquired brain injuries on thousands of South Carolinians, particularly the elderly and children, and notes that falls, motor vehicle crashes, and other incidents are leading causes of such injuries. The resolution also addresses the challenges faced by veterans, who are disproportionately affected by traumatic brain injuries.

The resolution underscores the need for increased education and recognition of brain injuries, as many go unreported and untreated. It points out that early intervention and rehabilitation can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals affected by brain injuries. The bill concludes with a directive to present a copy of the resolution to the Brain Injury Association of South Carolina, reinforcing the commitment to support those impacted by brain injuries in the state.
