J 1640 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2026, as TAR Syndrome Awareness Month in the State of New York

This Senate Resolution (S 1640) requests Governor Hochul to designate April 2026 as TAR Syndrome Awareness Month in New York. It directly affects individuals and families living with TAR Syndrome - a rare congenital condition involving low platelets and missing forearm bones - and aims to increase public education about the condition. The resolution does not create new laws but formally urges the Governor to issue a proclamation during that month to promote awareness, support for affected individuals, and advocacy for medical research. It is a symbolic gesture recognizing the challenges of TAR Syndrome and the need for continued healthcare access and research.
