K 636 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim August 2025, as Children's Eye Health and Safety Awareness Month in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Hochul to officially declare August 2025 as "Children's Eye Health and Safety Awareness Month" in New York State. It directly aims to raise public awareness about childhood eye conditions, particularly anterior uveitis (a rare inflammation that can cause blindness if untreated), following advocacy inspired by Caitlyn Michiels' experience. The resolution has no binding policy changes - it is a symbolic request to promote eye health education and early detection.
