This bill designates May 24, 2026, as Paige Elizabeth Keely Day in New York State to honor the memory of a young girl who passed away from a rare brain condition. The resolution aims to raise public awareness about brain arteriovenous malformations and other neurological disorders while supporting the foundation established by her family to fund research and aid affected families.
