Establishes "Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution"
This bill (A 4932) designates January 30th each year as "Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution" in New York State. It adds this date to the state's list of official commemorative days, honoring Fred Korematsu - a Japanese American whose legal challenge to WWII internment policies became a landmark civil liberties case. The bill has no legal effect beyond recognizing this day for public observance. It is purely ceremonial, with no new requirements or direct impacts on residents or government operations.
