Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 1, 2026, as International Day of Older Persons in the State of New York

This resolution asks Governor Hochul to officially designate October 1, 2026, as "International Day of Older Persons" in New York State. It does not create new laws or policies but requests a ceremonial proclamation recognizing this UN-established observance. The resolution cites New York's large aging population (3.2 million residents aged 65+) and efforts to address elder abuse as context. It is a procedural request for the Governor to issue the proclamation, not a binding legislative action.
