Designates May ninth as Opioid Awareness Day

This bill designates May ninth as Opioid Awareness Day in New York State. It directly affects state officials and the public by adding this date to the official list of commemorative days recognized under the executive law. The key mechanism is amending section 168-a of the executive law to include May ninth alongside other existing commemorative dates. This change allows for official recognition and potential public awareness activities focused on opioid-related issues on that specific date.
