Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 25-31, 2026, as Respiratory Care Week in the State of New York

This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially recognize October 25-31, 2026, as Respiratory Care Week. The resolution is intended to raise public awareness about breathing conditions such as asthma and COPD and to honor the work of respiratory therapists, nurses, and doctors. It encourages healthcare facilities and communities to hold events during this week to educate the public and inspire people to enter the respiratory care field. The measure does not change laws or require new funding; it simply directs the Governor to issue a proclamation acknowledging the importance of respiratory health.
