Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2025, as the Month of the Military Child in the State of New York

This bill (Assembly Resolution 279) is a symbolic resolution requesting Governor Hochul to officially designate April 2025 as "Month of the Military Child" in New York State. It directly affects approximately 44,000 military children residing in New York (not on military bases), recognizing their unique challenges and contributions. The resolution does not create new laws or programs but asks the Governor to issue a proclamation aligning with the national observance established since 1986 and Purple Up Day on April 15, 2025. The text emphasizes honoring military children’s resilience during family deployments and moves. This is a procedural request with no direct policy changes.
