Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 12-18, 2025, as Prevention Week in the State of New York
This is a symbolic resolution (not a bill with policy changes) asking Governor Hochul to declare May 12-18, 2025, as "Prevention Week" in New York State. It does not create new laws or allocate funds; it simply requests the Governor issue a proclamation to raise awareness about substance use prevention and mental health. The resolution cites rising fentanyl-related overdose deaths and emphasizes collaboration with organizations like SAMHSA. It aligns with National Prevention Week and encourages community events focused on prevention education.
