The resolution recognizes May 2025 as Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) Awareness Month in Vermont, highlighting the need for increased public and healthcare community awareness of this rare neurological disorder. PSP affects essential physical and mental functions, with symptoms typically appearing in individuals aged 60 and older, leading to significant quality-of-life issues and complex care requirements. Currently, there is no cure or modifying treatment for PSP, and the lack of understanding about the disorder often results in misdiagnosis, hindering intervention efforts and clinical trials.

By designating May 2025 as PSP Awareness Month, the resolution aims to raise awareness about the disorder, support ongoing efforts to find a cure, and provide comfort to families impacted by PSP. The General Assembly calls for the Secretary of State to send copies of the resolution to CurePSP in New York City and the Vermont Medical Society to further promote awareness and understanding of the condition.
