Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 20, 2026, as Day of Social Justice in the State of New York
This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially declare February 20, 2026, as New York State's Day of Social Justice. It aligns the state observance with the global World Day of Social Justice, which focuses on issues like poverty, unemployment, and discrimination. The resolution does not create new laws or programs but serves as a symbolic gesture to recognize the importance of social justice principles. The bill is purely ceremonial and affects only the state's official calendar and the Governor's proclamation duties.
