Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 28, 2024, as Workers' Memorial Day in the State of New York
This bill directs the Governor of New York to officially recognize April 28, 2024, as Workers' Memorial Day. The resolution commemorates the date the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act took effect and honors workers who have been injured or killed on the job. It does not create new laws or change workplace regulations but serves as a symbolic gesture to acknowledge the importance of worker safety. The measure is a formal proclamation that will be sent to the Governor for her signature.
