K 1480 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim August 6, 2026, as Mother's Equal Pay Day in the State of New York

This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially designate August 6, 2026, as Mother's Equal Pay Day. The legislation highlights the wage gap between mothers and fathers, noting that mothers typically earn significantly less for full-time work. While the bill does not change laws or create new programs, it encourages businesses to conduct internal pay evaluations to ensure fair compensation for women. The resolution serves as a formal acknowledgment of the economic disparity faced by mothers and their contributions to the workforce.
