Plain-English Summary

The proposal would officially recognize May 17, 2025, as a national day to raise awareness about necrotizing enterocolitis, a serious intestinal disease that primarily affects premature and newborn infants. The designation aims to increase public understanding of this condition, which can cause severe complications and death in vulnerable newborns, and to highlight the importance of research and medical care for affected families. This symbolic recognition does not create new laws or programs but encourages attention to the disease through official acknowledgment.
