Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 2026, as Dystonia Awareness Month in the State of New York

This bill directs Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate September 2026 as Dystonia Awareness Month in New York State. The legislation aims to increase public understanding of dystonia, a neurological condition that causes involuntary muscle contractions and abnormal movements affecting approximately 300,000 people in North America. By setting aside this specific month, the state intends to highlight the challenges faced by individuals with the disorder and encourage greater awareness of available treatments. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but serves as a formal proclamation to focus attention on the health issue.
