Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026 as Huntington's Disease Awareness Month in the State of New York
This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially declare May 2026 as Huntington's Disease Awareness Month in New York State. The resolution directs the governor to issue a proclamation recognizing this month to increase public awareness of Huntington's disease, a hereditary brain disorder with no current cure. Copies of the adopted resolution will be sent to the governor and the Albany Chapter of the Huntington's Disease Society of America. The measure does not change laws or allocate funding; it serves as a symbolic recognition of the disease and its impact on families and caregivers.
