The bill S. 1064 is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly to officially recognize March 2026 as "Brain Injury Awareness Month." The resolution aims to support brain injury survivors and their families, raise public awareness about the prevalence of brain injuries, and highlight the importance of prevention and treatment. It outlines the significant impact of acquired brain injuries on thousands of South Carolinians, linking them to various neurodegenerative diseases and emphasizing the need for increased education and recognition of these injuries.

The resolution also notes that traumatic brain injuries are often underreported and untreated, with many survivors facing challenges in securing proper medical care. It highlights the financial burden of traumatic brain injuries in the U.S., estimated at over $48 billion annually, and stresses the importance of early intervention and rehabilitation for improving the quality of life for affected individuals. The resolution concludes with a directive to present a copy to the Brain Injury Association of South Carolina.
