Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim November 2026, as Alpha-1 Awareness Month in the State of New York

This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially designate November 2026 as Alpha-1 Awareness Month. The resolution highlights Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency, a genetic condition that can cause lung and liver disease by affecting a specific protein in the blood. It aims to increase public understanding of the illness and its symptoms, such as shortness of breath and liver damage, while acknowledging the work of local support groups. The text directs copies of the resolution to the Governor and a regional support group leader to formalize the proclamation.
