Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 18, 2026, as Thesaurus Day in the State of New York
This bill is a ceremonial resolution requesting Governor Hochul to officially designate January 18, 2026, as "Thesaurus Day" in New York State. It commemorates the birthday of Peter Mark Roget, creator of the thesaurus, and encourages New Yorkers to expand their vocabulary. The resolution has no legal effect - it is purely symbolic, urging the governor to recognize the day to promote language awareness. (Procedural resolution; summary limited to 2 sentences as specified.)
