AJR15,1,1
1
Relating to:
proclaiming March 26, 2025, as Purple Day for epilepsy.
AJR15,1,5
2
Whereas, epilepsy is a neurological disorder producing brief disturbances in
3
the normal electrical functions of the brain that temporarily affects a person’s
4
consciousness, bodily movements, or sensations, while creating long-term effects on
5
the lifestyle of individuals with epilepsy; and
AJR15,1,7
6
Whereas, one in 26 people will develop epilepsy and one in 10 people will have
7
a seizure during his or her lifetime; and
AJR15,1,9
8
Whereas, epilepsy can affect anyone, regardless of gender, race, age, religion,
9
educational background, or socioeconomic status; and
AJR15,1,11
10
Whereas, epilepsy affects more than 50 million people worldwide, nearly three
11
million Americans, and around 60,000 Wisconsinites; and
AJR15,2,2
12
Whereas, although there is no known cure for epilepsy, existing drug therapy,
13
surgery, and other non-pharmacological treatments enable up to 70 percent of
1
individuals with epilepsy to lead normal lives with no seizures or with a significant
2
reduction in seizures; and
AJR15,2,4
3
Whereas, epilepsy is a complex disorder that requires further research to find
4
a cure, additional treatment options, and prevention; and
AJR15,2,6
5
Whereas, epilepsy and seizure disorders limit options for convenient,
6
affordable, and accessible transportation; and
AJR15,2,8
7
Whereas, the public is often unable to recognize common seizure types or to
8
respond with appropriate first aid; and
AJR15,2,12
9
Whereas, the annual observance of Purple Day on March 26 advocates for the
10
rights, humane treatment, and appropriate education of all individuals with
11
epilepsy, while raising awareness in families, professionals, and the general public
12
to better understand this lifelong disorder; now, therefore, be it
AJR15,2,18
13
Resolved by the
assembly
, the
senate
concurring, That
the legislature
14
proclaims March 26, 2025, as Purple Day, invites all Wisconsinites to participate by
15
wearing purple, and calls upon all citizens, government agencies, public and private
16
institutions, businesses, and schools to recommit their communities to increasing
17
awareness and understanding of epilepsy through education while ensuring that all
18
individuals with epilepsy lead full and productive lives; and, be it further
AJR15,2,20
19
Resolved, That
the chief clerk of the assembly shall provide copies of this
20
resolution to the Epilepsy Foundation Heart of Wisconsin.
