Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 18, 2025, as Thesaurus Day in the State of New York
This is a ceremonial Senate Resolution (J 31), not a bill with policy effects. It requests Governor Hochul to proclaim January 18, 2025, as "Thesaurus Day" in New York State, coinciding with National Thesaurus Day. The resolution cites the history of Roget's Thesaurus and encourages New Yorkers to expand their vocabulary. As a symbolic gesture, it has no legal impact or direct effect on any individuals or policies.
