Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2026 as Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month in the State of New York

This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially designate April 2026 as Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month. The legislation is sponsored by Assembly member Jensen and highlights the work of the nonprofit 13thirty Cancer Connect, which supports young cancer patients through wellness and social programs. By passing this resolution, the state legislature formally recognizes the unique challenges faced by teens and young adults with cancer and encourages greater public awareness of their needs. The bill does not create new laws or funding but serves as a symbolic gesture to honor these patients and promote education about their condition.
