Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 17, 2024, as Constitution Day and Citizenship Day in the State of New York

This bill directs Governor Kathy Hochul to officially recognize September 17, 2024, as Constitution Day and Citizenship Day throughout New York State. The resolution commemorates the 1787 signing of the U.S. Constitution and honors the annual naturalization ceremonies held by federal officials to welcome new citizens. It highlights New York's significant role in the naturalization process, noting that the state ranks second nationally in the number of people who become citizens each year. The measure is a ceremonial proclamation and does not alter any laws or create new legal requirements.
