Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2025, as Reading Month in the State of New York
This is a ceremonial resolution (K 147) requesting Governor Hochul to issue a proclamation designating March 2025 as "Reading Month" in New York State. It cites reading proficiency statistics (e.g., 42% of 4th graders below basic levels) and links literacy to economic stability, but the resolution itself has no legal effect - it only asks the governor to formally recognize the month. The bill was adopted by the Assembly on March 3, 2025.
