Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2026 as Multiple Birth Awareness Month in the State of New York
This bill is a procedural resolution asking Governor Hochul to declare April 2026 as Multiple Birth Awareness Month in New York. It does not create new laws or policies but requests the Governor issue an official proclamation to raise public awareness about multiple births. The resolution cites statistics on prematurity risks (e.g., 1 in 8 twins born prematurely) and aims to support families of multiples through education and resources. It aligns with National Multiple Birth Awareness Month observed in April.
