Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 1, 2026, as Uzbekistan Independence Day in the State of New York

This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially recognize September 1, 2026, as Uzbekistan Independence Day within the state. It is intended to honor the cultural heritage and contributions of the Uzbek community in New York, which includes over 60,000 residents. The resolution does not create new laws or change government operations but serves as a formal acknowledgment of the country's history and the state's diverse population. Copies of the bill will be sent to the Governor, the Uzbek Consul General, and local Uzbek organizations.
