Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 10-16, 2026, as Food Allergy Awareness Week in the State of New York

This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially recognize May 8-14, 2026, as Food Allergy Awareness Week to increase public understanding of food allergies. The resolution highlights that food allergies affect millions of people, particularly children, and can cause severe, life-threatening reactions. It provides background information on the prevalence of allergies, common allergens, and the importance of awareness and education for schools, restaurants, and citizens. The bill is a ceremonial measure that does not create new laws or funding but serves to draw attention to the health issue through official proclamation.
