Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 7, 2024, as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Day in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially declare September 7, 2024, as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Day in New York. The resolution aims to raise public awareness about a genetic condition that primarily affects boys and causes progressive muscle weakness. It does not change any laws or create new programs, but rather serves to highlight the disease and encourage early diagnosis. Copies of the resolution will be sent to the Governor for her signature.
