Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026, as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Awareness Month in the State of New York

Senate Resolution J 1375 is a ceremonial resolution asking Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate May 2026 as "Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Awareness Month" in New York State. It aligns with International ME/CFS Awareness Day on May 12th and requests the proclamation to raise public recognition of the disease. The resolution does not create new laws or allocate funding but aims to increase awareness of ME/CFS, a chronic illness affecting thousands in New York. It was adopted by the Senate and now awaits the Governor's action.
