Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026, as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Awareness Month in the State of New York

This Senate Resolution asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate May 2026 as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Awareness Month in New York State. The bill directs the governor to issue a proclamation highlighting ALS, a progressive neurological disease that affects voluntary movement and impacts thousands of New Yorkers. The resolution includes background information about ALS statistics and the importance of raising public awareness about the condition. This is a ceremonial measure intended to increase visibility for the disease rather than create new laws or funding.
