Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 25-31, 2026, as Respiratory Care Week in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially recognize October 22-28, 2026, as Respiratory Care Week in New York State. The resolution aims to raise awareness about respiratory health issues like asthma and COPD, and to honor the work of doctors, nurses, and respiratory therapists. It encourages healthcare facilities and communities to organize events and educational activities during this week to promote lung health and inspire interest in the respiratory care profession. The bill is ceremonial and does not create new laws or funding, but rather directs the governor to issue a proclamation acknowledging the importance of respiratory care.
