Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 21, 2026, as Telepractice Awareness Day in the State of New York

This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially recognize May 21, 2026, as Telepractice Awareness Day. The resolution highlights the benefits of using technology to provide speech, language, and hearing services to people who face barriers like distance or lack of local specialists. It also notes concerns about internet access in some households and supports the idea that telehealth can improve care for underserved communities. The measure does not change any laws or funding but serves to raise public awareness about these services. Copies of the resolution are sent to the Governor and relevant colleges that offer telehealth programs.
