The California State Assembly adopted Assembly Concurrent Resolution 139 on Jan. 20, 2026, designating March as Sleep Apnea Awareness Month.
Assemblymember Calderon presented the resolution, saying sleep apnea affects large numbers of adults and that up to 90% of cases may remain undiagnosed. "By designating March as sleep apnea awareness month, we can encourage earlier screening, promote timely treatment, and reduce preventable health risks for millions of Californians," Calderon said, and he asked for an 'I' vote.
Assemblymember Jeff Gonzales spoke in support and shared a personal anecdote: "I am thankful for my CPAP," he said, urging fellow members to raise awareness about the condition among veterans and others.
The clerk opened the roll for coauthors, recorded 61 coauthors on the resolution, and the body took a voice vote. The Speaker declared ACR 139 adopted.
The resolution is ceremonial and aims to promote awareness and screening; the transcript does not identify any statutory mandate or funding attached to the resolution.
