Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim November 2026, as Diabetic Eye Disease Month in the State of New York

This is a symbolic resolution (Senate Resolution 1550) requesting Governor Hochul to formally designate November 2026 as "Diabetic Eye Disease Month" in New York State. It does not create new laws or policies but asks the Governor to issue a proclamation to raise public awareness about diabetic eye disease, which affects millions and can lead to vision loss. The resolution references the National Eye Institute's work and past medical studies on diabetic retinopathy. As a procedural resolution, it directly affects no individuals or entities beyond the symbolic recognition effort.
