Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 25, 2026, as Malaria Day in the State of New York
This is a ceremonial resolution (not a bill) requesting Governor Hochul to designate April 25, 2026, as "Malaria Day" in New York State, aligning with World Malaria Day. It does not create new laws or affect any specific group; instead, it asks the Governor to issue a symbolic proclamation to raise public awareness about malaria. The resolution cites global malaria statistics and New York's historical context with imported cases to emphasize the importance of awareness. As a procedural resolution, it has no binding effect and serves solely to honor the observance. The resolution was adopted by the Senate on January 21, 2026.
