Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026, as Speech-Language-Hearing Month in the State of New York

This resolution memorializes Governor Hochul to issue a proclamation designating May 2026 as Speech-Language-Hearing Month in New York State. It does not create new laws or policies but requests the Governor issue a symbolic proclamation to raise public awareness about communication health and honor professionals in speech-language and hearing services. The resolution directly affects New Yorkers by encouraging community recognition of communication health needs and the work of related professionals, though it has no binding legal effect. The Senate adopted this resolution on February 25, 2026, as a non-binding request to the Governor.
