Overview: Resolution J 1100 memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 21-27, 2025, as Frontotemporal Degeneration Awareness Week in the State of New York.

Purpose and Intent: The resolution seeks to raise awareness and understanding of frontotemporal degeneration (FTD), a type of dementia that primarily affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. By designating a specific week for FTD awareness, the state aims to educate the public, healthcare providers, and policymakers about this lesser-known form of dementia and the challenges faced by individuals and families affected by it.

Key Provisions:
- Calls on the Governor to issue a proclamation declaring September 21-27, 2025, as Frontotemporal Degeneration Awareness Week in New York
- Encourages the state to organize events, educational campaigns, and other initiatives to promote awareness and understanding of FTD during the designated week

Affected Parties and Impacts: The resolution would primarily impact individuals and families affected by frontotemporal degeneration, as well as healthcare professionals and researchers working in the field of dementia. It aims to increase public knowledge and support for those living with this form of dementia.

Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The resolution has been adopted by the state legislature and is awaiting the Governor's proclamation to officially designate September 21-27, 2025, as Frontotemporal Degeneration Awareness Week.
