Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 2025, as Dystonia Awareness Month in the State of New York
This bill (Assembly Resolution No. 697) requests Governor Hochul to officially designate September 2025 as "Dystonia Awareness Month" in New York State. It directly affects the approximately 300,000 people in North America living with dystonia - a neurological movement disorder causing involuntary muscle contractions - by seeking to increase public awareness of the condition. The resolution has no binding policy impact; it is a non-binding request for the Governor to issue a proclamation, aligning with New York's tradition of recognizing health awareness months.
