Relates to designating the month of May "Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month"
This bill designates the month of May each year as "Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month" through a new section in New York's executive law. It formally recognizes maternal mental health as a priority area for public awareness, without creating new programs, funding, or legal obligations. The designation serves as a symbolic observance to honor and highlight maternal mental health issues, consistent with other established months of commemoration like "Breast Cancer Awareness Month." It does not establish holidays or alter existing laws, and takes effect immediately upon enactment.
