Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim December 21, 2025, as Meditation Day in the State of New York

This is a symbolic resolution (Senate Resolution J 1096) requesting Governor Hochul to issue a proclamation designating December 21, 2025, as "Meditation Day" in New York State. It does not create new laws or affect any specific group, as it solely asks the Governor to recognize meditation's benefits through a formal declaration. The resolution cites the UN's recognition of World Meditation Day and highlights meditation's mental/physical health benefits, as noted by organizations like the WHO and NCCIH. As a procedural resolution, it has no binding effect and serves only to honor the practice.
