Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 21, 2026, as Down Syndrome Awareness Day in the State of New York

This is a symbolic resolution (not a law) requesting Governor Hochul to officially proclaim March 21, 2026, as Down Syndrome Awareness Day in New York State. It aligns with World Down Syndrome Day (observed globally on March 21 to reference Trisomy 21) and recognizes the condition's prevalence (about 1 in 691 U.S. births). The resolution expresses legislative support for individuals with Down syndrome and their contributions to communities. It has no direct policy impact but seeks to raise public awareness through a state-level proclamation.
