Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim July 23, 2025, as Egyptian Heritage Day in the State of New York

This bill is a symbolic resolution requesting Governor Hochul to declare July 23, 2025, as Egyptian Heritage Day in New York State. It directly recognizes Egyptian American communities, particularly the over 30,000 residents in New York (mostly in Astoria's "Little Egypt" neighborhood), and their cultural contributions. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but asks the governor to formally acknowledge this heritage day. It references Egypt's diplomatic ties with the U.S. and New York's cultural landmarks like the Temple of Dendur. The resolution was adopted by the Assembly on April 9, 2025.
