Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 21, 2025, as Down Syndrome Awareness Day in the State of New York

This bill is a ceremonial resolution asking Governor Kathy Hochul to designate March 21, 2025, as Down Syndrome Awareness Day in New York State, aligning with World Down Syndrome Day. It directly requests the governor's official proclamation to raise public awareness about Down syndrome, a genetic condition affecting approximately 400,000 Americans. The resolution does not create new laws or programs but formally recognizes the contributions and dignity of people with Down syndrome in New York communities. It follows the established tradition of legislative resolutions for awareness days and has been adopted by the Senate.
