Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 11-17, 2025, as Black Maternal Health Week in the State of New York

This is a ceremonial resolution (Assembly Resolution 307), not a substantive bill. It requests Governor Hochul to officially designate April 11-17, 2025, as "Black Maternal Health Week" in New York State. The resolution aims to raise public awareness about racial disparities in maternal health outcomes, specifically highlighting that Black women in New York face significantly higher risks of pregnancy-related death and severe complications compared to white women. The resolution does not create new laws or allocate funding; it serves as a symbolic recognition effort to support community-driven awareness and advocacy.
