Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 24, 2026, as Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Day in the State of New York

This resolution asks Governor Hochul to officially designate February 24, 2026, as "Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Day" across New York State. It does not create new laws or funding but requests a symbolic state-wide observance to highlight the issue. The resolution cites statistics on domestic violence impacts (including racial disparities and economic costs) to underscore the need for awareness, but the action itself is purely commemorative.
