Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 15-21, 2026, as Poison Prevention Week in the State of New York
This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially recognize March 15-21, 2026, as Poison Prevention Week. The resolution directs the Governor to issue a proclamation highlighting the dangers of poisoning and promoting awareness of prevention tactics. It is intended to raise public consciousness about unintentional poisonings, which frequently occur in homes and often affect young children. The bill does not create new laws or funding but serves as a symbolic gesture to align New York with the national observance of this awareness week.
