Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 25, 2026, as Missing Children's Day in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate May 25, 2026, as Missing Children's Day in New York State. The resolution highlights the work of organizations like the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and honors the memory of Etan Patz, whose disappearance helped launch the national movement to protect missing children. By issuing a proclamation, the state aims to raise public awareness about child safety and support the efforts of families, law enforcement, and advocacy groups. Copies of the resolution will be sent to the governor and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
