Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2026, as Reading Month in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate March 2026 as Reading Month in New York State. The resolution highlights concerns about reading proficiency among students and adults, noting that many New Yorkers lack basic literacy skills. It encourages all New Yorkers to focus on reading during that month, aligning with the national observance of Reading Month. The bill does not create new laws or funding but serves as a symbolic proclamation to raise awareness about literacy.
