Recognizing April 24, 2026, as Blue Friday

This Senate Resolution officially recognizes April 24, 2026, as Blue Friday in New York State to honor law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty and to support their families. The bill does not create new laws or change government operations; instead, it formally acknowledges an existing community event organized by Blue Friday New York, a nonprofit that helps survivors access benefits and resources. The resolution expresses the state's appreciation for law enforcement and supports the efforts of local businesses and organizations that host donations and memorial activities on that date. Copies of the resolution will be sent to the organization's president and the radio station that helps coordinate the event.
