Designates June 1, 2012, as "Men's Health Awareness Day" in Alabama.

Establishes that low testosterone (hypogonadism) affects an estimated 13 million men in the United States, defined as less than 30 nanograms per deciliter of blood.

Notes that men over age 45 with obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, prostate disease, or asthma are at increased risk for low testosterone.

Calls upon the Alabama Department of Public Health and all Alabama citizens to participate in educational activities to raise awareness about testosterone deficiency, particularly in older men, and to improve quality of life for affected men.
