Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim November 2026, as National Family Caregivers Month in the State of New York

This Senate Resolution (S 1444) requests Governor Hochul to officially designate November 2026 as "National Family Caregivers Month" in New York State. It directly affects the estimated 4.1 million unpaid caregivers in New York who provide daily support for loved ones with health needs, such as medication management and emotional care. The resolution has no new policy requirements - it solely asks the Governor to issue a ceremonial proclamation recognizing caregivers' contributions. The bill was adopted by the legislature and now awaits the Governor's action.
