J 1125 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 23, 2025, as Long Island Sound Day in the State of New York

This is a ceremonial resolution (not a bill) asking Governor Hochul to designate May 23, 2025, as "Long Island Sound Day" in New York. It does not create new laws or policies but seeks to formally recognize the ecological, economic, and recreational significance of the Long Island Sound. The resolution highlights the Sound's role as a National Estuary, its $9 billion annual economic impact, and its importance to wildlife and coastal communities. It has no direct effect on residents or regulations, serving solely as a symbolic gesture to raise public awareness.
