Commemorating the 207th Anniversary of Walt Whitman's Birthday on May 31, 2026

This bill is a ceremonial resolution that formally recognizes the 207th anniversary of poet Walt Whitman's birthday on May 31, 2026. It directs the legislative body to pause its proceedings to honor Whitman's cultural legacy and notes that a public reading of his poem "Song of Myself" will take place in Albany on that date. The text highlights Whitman's contributions to American literature and his historical connection to New York, but it does not create any new laws or alter government operations.
