Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 15-19, 2026, as Sanitation Workers Week in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially declare the week of June 15-19, 2026, as Sanitation Workers Week in New York State. The resolution aims to honor sanitation workers for their essential role in keeping communities clean, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic when they faced heightened health and safety risks. By requesting this proclamation, the legislature intends to encourage employers and residents across the state to publicly express gratitude to these workers. The measure does not change laws or create new programs but serves as a symbolic gesture to recognize the dedication of sanitation staff.
