The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 15, introduced on March 11, 2025, by a group of representatives and senators, proclaims March 26, 2025, as Purple Day for epilepsy. This resolution highlights the significance of epilepsy as a neurological disorder that affects millions of people worldwide, including approximately 60,000 individuals in Wisconsin.
