Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 2026, as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Hochul to proclaim October 2026 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in New York State. It does not create new laws or funding but formally asks the Governor to issue a symbolic proclamation recognizing the issue. The resolution highlights the work of the New York State Coalition Against Domestic Violence and cites statistics about domestic violence impacts, but the action itself is purely ceremonial. It was adopted by the legislature as a procedural step.
