STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Sixteen

AN ACT proclaiming February as Cancer Prevention month, February 4th as Cancer Prevention day, and August as Cure all Cancer month.

Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:

128:1 Statement of Intent. The general court recognizes that October is Breast Cancer awareness month which is laudable. The general court further recognizes that there should be a focus on cancer prevention and finding a cure for all cancers and that having only one month for a specific cancer may detract from many other deadly cancers. Therefore, the general court hereby proclaims February as cancer prevention month, February 4th as cancer prevention day, and August as Cure all Cancer month in honor of the many people who have lost their lives to cancer or who are battling cancer. The general court specifically dedicates this act to Tierra Brewster VanCise who lost her battle with lung cancer in October of 2010.

128:2 New Section; Cancer Prevention Month, Cancer Prevention Day, and Cure all Cancer Month. Amend RSA 4 by inserting after section 13-u the following new section:

4:13-v Cancer Prevention Month, Cancer Prevention Day, and Cure all Cancer Month. The governor shall annually proclaim February as Cancer Prevention month, February 4th as Cancer Prevention day, and August as Cure all Cancer month and shall urge cities and towns throughout the state to observe these dates in an appropriate manner in recognition of the thousands of citizens of this state affected by all types of cancer and the need for public awareness, research, and support for victims and their families.

128:3 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.

Approved: May 20, 2016

Effective Date: July 19, 2016
