Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 24, 2025, as Schizophrenia Awareness Day in the State of New York

This resolution memorializes Governor Hochul to proclaim May 24, 2025, as Schizophrenia Awareness Day in New York State, aligning with World Schizophrenia Day. It does not create new laws or policies but serves as a symbolic legislative gesture to raise public awareness about schizophrenia. The resolution highlights that schizophrenia affects over 217,000 New Yorkers, is a leading cause of disability, and faces significant stigma, though it does not change healthcare access or funding. The bill is procedural and focuses solely on recognition, not legislative action.
