Establishes September twenty-second of each year as a day of commemoration known as Veteran Suicide Awareness and Remembrance Day
This bill designates September 22nd as "Veteran Suicide Awareness and Remembrance Day" to honor military veterans and raise awareness about suicide prevention. By amending the state's executive law, it adds this new observance to the existing list of official commemorative days recognized in New York. The legislation requires no special actions from individuals or organizations, serving primarily as a formal acknowledgment of the issue within the state calendar.
