A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

RECOGNIZING THE WEEK OF FEBRUARY 4-10, 2007, AS NATIONAL HIV/AIDS AWARENESS WEEK.

Whereas, this week has been proclaimed National HIV/AIDS Awareness Week; and

Whereas, this proclamation is one step toward making the public aware that HIV/AIDS has not been defeated and that more people are being infected every day; and

Whereas, in the State of South Carolina, a reported fifteen thousand individuals are infected with this disease; and

Whereas, the General Assembly appropriated only a minimum amount of funding toward the research and prevention of this dreaded disease in last year's budget; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly must let the citizens of South Carolina know that their legislators, too, care about their own, by increasing the State's financial commitment in this year's budget to help with HIV/AIDS care, research, and prevention. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, recognize the week of February 4-10, 2007, as National HIV/AIDS Awareness Week.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the South Carolina Legislative Black Caucus.
