Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 6, 2026, as Danish American Heritage Day in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially declare October 6, 2026, as Danish American Heritage Day in New York. The resolution recognizes the state's Danish community, noting that over 27,000 residents have Danish ancestry and highlighting historical figures like Jacob Riis who contributed to social reform. It also mentions existing Danish cultural institutions in New York, such as the Danish American Chamber of Commerce and the Danish Seamen's Church. The bill does not create new laws or funding but serves to honor Danish heritage and strengthen ties between New York and Denmark.
