Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2026, as Second Chance Month in the State of New York

This bill directs Governor Kathy Hochul to officially declare April 2026 as Second Chance Month in New York State. The resolution aims to raise public awareness about the challenges formerly incarcerated individuals face when trying to reintegrate into society, such as finding employment and accessing education. It calls on communities, employers, and organizations to support removing unnecessary barriers for people with criminal records who have completed their sentences. The measure is a symbolic proclamation rather than a law that creates new legal requirements or funding.
