S 2587 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes "Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution"

This bill designates January 30th each year as "Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution" in New York State. It adds this date to the state's official calendar of commemorative days, alongside existing observances like Holocaust Remembrance Day and Juneteenth. The bill does not create new policies or affect specific groups; it simply establishes a day for public recognition of civil liberties. This is a procedural change to state law, not a substantive policy.
