This Senate Resolution (J 130) requests Governor Hochul to officially designate September 18, 2025, as "School Backpack Awareness Day" in New York State. It does not create new laws or policies but asks the Governor to issue a proclamation aligning with National School Backpack Awareness Day. The resolution aims to raise public awareness about safe backpack use among students, referencing risks like back pain from improper carrying. It affects no specific group through policy changes - its purpose is purely ceremonial to support existing national awareness efforts.
