Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim November 28, 2025, as Albanian-American Heritage Day in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Hochul to officially designate November 28, 2025, as Albanian-American Heritage Day in New York State. It directly recognizes the Albanian-American community (estimated at 500,000 in New York per CUNY) and commemorates Albania's independence from Ottoman rule on November 28, 1912. The resolution has no binding effect - it is a ceremonial gesture urging the Governor to issue a proclamation, not a law changing policies or funding. It follows New York's tradition of honoring cultural diversity through official recognition.
