J 1257 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim November 1, 2026, as World Vegan Day in the State of New York

This is a symbolic resolution (not a law) requesting Governor Hochul to issue a proclamation designating November 1, 2026, as "Plant-Based Day" in New York State. It does not create new policies or affect any specific group directly; instead, it asks the Governor to formally recognize this day in alignment with World Vegan Day. The resolution cites health, environmental, and economic benefits of plant-based diets as context for the recognition. As a commemorative resolution, it has no legal force and serves only to honor the growing plant-based lifestyle movement in New York.
