Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 24, 2026, as Schizophrenia Awareness Day in the State of New York

This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially declare May 24, 2026, as Schizophrenia Awareness Day. The resolution aims to highlight the challenges faced by the over 217,000 New Yorkers living with schizophrenia and to reduce the stigma surrounding the condition. By aligning with World Schizophrenia Day, the measure seeks to encourage public education and support for mental health resources. The bill does not create new laws or funding but serves as a formal statement to raise community awareness.
