An Act designating May 6 as Moyamoya disease awareness day.

 

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
 

Chapter 6 of the General Laws, as so appearing in the 2016 official edition, is hereby amended by inserting after section 15BBBBBB, the following section:-

Section 15CCCCCC. The governor shall annually issue a proclamation setting apart May 6th as Moyamoya Awareness Day, to raise awareness of the occurrence of this rare neurovascular condition seen in children and adults in which the walls of the internal carotid arteries become thickened and narrowed resulting in reduced blood flow and an increased risk of transient ischemic attacks and strokes, and recommending that the day be observed in an appropriate manner by the people.
