HB 1268 -- ADENOID CYSTIC CARCINOMA AWARENESS DAY

SPONSOR:  Meiners

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on
Tourism by a vote of 10 to 0.

This bill requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation
designating November 16 as "Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Awareness
Day."

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2011, FY 2012, and
FY 2013.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that adenoid cystic carcinoma is a
very rare, slow growing cancer that is difficult to detect and
diagnose.  Designating this day will bring more awareness of the
disease to the public and the medical community, leading to
earlier diagnosis and better treatment.

Testifying for the bill was Representative Meiners.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
