Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim 8:30pm-9:30pm on Saturday, March 28, 2026, as Earth Hour in the State of New York
This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially recognize Earth Hour on March 28, 2026, from 8:30pm to 9:30pm in New York State. The resolution encourages residents and businesses to turn off non-essential lights during that hour to raise awareness about climate change and environmental conservation. It does not create new laws or require any specific actions, but rather serves as a symbolic gesture to join global efforts for environmental protection. The measure is a commemorative resolution that directs the governor to acknowledge the event rather than impose any new regulations or obligations.
