Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 2026, as Stalking Awareness Month in the State of New York

This is a procedural resolution (not a binding law) requesting Governor Hochul to officially designate January 2026 as Stalking Awareness Month in New York State. It does not create new policies or directly affect any individuals; instead, it asks the Governor to issue a formal proclamation. The resolution cites stalking statistics and impacts (like 1 in 3 women experiencing stalking) to justify the awareness designation. Its purpose is to encourage public recognition of stalking issues, not to enact new legal requirements. As a resolution, it requires the Governor's voluntary action but has no legal force.
