Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026, as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Awareness Month in the State of New York

This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially designate May 2026 as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Awareness Month. The legislation aims to raise public awareness about ALS, a progressive nerve disease that causes muscle weakness and is currently fatal. By requesting this proclamation, the bill seeks to highlight the impact of the condition on patients and their families while encouraging further discussion and support. The measure is a symbolic gesture intended to educate the public rather than to change laws or allocate funding.
