Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 5, 2026, as Severe Asthma Day in the State of New York, in conjunction with the observance of World Asthma Day

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially declare May 5, 2026, as Severe Asthma Day in New York. The resolution aims to raise public awareness about severe asthma, a difficult-to-manage form of the condition that requires specialized care and often leads to frequent medical emergencies. By aligning this state observance with World Asthma Day, the legislation seeks to highlight the unique challenges faced by patients who do not respond well to standard treatments. The bill does not change laws or allocate funding; instead, it serves as a symbolic gesture to educate the public and support those affected by the disease.
