Commemorating the 35th Anniversary of Lithuania Independence Restoration Day

This resolution commemorates the 35th anniversary of Lithuania's Independence Restoration Day (March 11, 1990) and honors Lithuania's historical journey to independence after periods of occupation. It recognizes New York State's significant Lithuanian American community, cultural landmarks like Lithuania Square, and ongoing U.S.-Lithuania diplomatic ties established in 1922. The resolution directs the New York State Assembly to formally pause its proceedings to celebrate this milestone and sends copies to the Lithuanian Consul General in New York and the Knights of Lithuania organization. As a ceremonial resolution, it has no legal effect but symbolically affirms cultural connections and shared values.
