Designates March 2010 as "National Colon Cancer Awareness Month" in Oklahoma.

Acknowledges colon cancer as the second leading cause of cancer death among men and women in Oklahoma and the United States.

Notes that at least one-third of colon cancer deaths could be prevented through regular screening tests for people age 50 and older, with early detection resulting in successful treatment more than 90% of the time.

Directs distribution of the resolution to the Oklahoma Chapter of the American Cancer Society.
