Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 31, 2025, as Cesar Chavez Day in the State of New York
Senate Resolution 559 requests Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 31, 2025, as Cesar Chavez Day in New York State. The resolution honors Cesar Chavez, a labor leader who co-founded the United Farm Workers and advocated for farm workers' rights, and references New York's 2019 Farm Laborers Fair Labor Practices Act. This is a symbolic recognition without new legal requirements, asking the Governor to formally acknowledge Chavez's legacy through a state proclamation.
