YourVoice.Now Summary
The House would back an awareness day for CJD, a rare and always-fatal brain disease — no new rules or funding.
The details
Most people would see no change in daily life. This resolution backs the goals of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) Awareness Day, set for November 12, 2025. CJD is a rare brain disease that is always fatal. It strikes about 600 people in the United States each year. Most cases have no known cause. Death usually comes within a few months to a year after symptoms start. The resolution notes a related disease in deer, elk, and moose that has been found in more than 36 states. It says tracking these diseases is key to learning whether the deer disease can spread to people. It names the National Prion Disease Pathology Surveillance Center as the only U.S. lab that tracks these diseases in people. The House would only voice support and stress the value of awareness. Nothing would be funded or required.
