Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2026, as Autoimmune Awareness Month in the State of New York

This bill (S.1673) is a ceremonial resolution memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2026 as Autoimmune Awareness Month in New York State. It does not create new laws or allocate funding but formally requests the Governor issue a public proclamation. The resolution aims to raise public awareness about autoimmune diseases, which affect millions (including 80% women) and involve high healthcare costs and diagnostic challenges. It aligns with National Autoimmune Awareness Month and seeks to highlight the need for greater education and research.
