Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 6, 2025, as Nurses Day in the State of New York

This Senate Resolution (J 113) requests Governor Hochul to issue a proclamation designating May 6, 2025, as "Nurses Day" in New York State, aligning with National Nurses Day. It directly honors New York's approximately 256,000 registered nurses by recognizing their role in healthcare. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but formally asks the Governor to publicly acknowledge nurses' contributions through a ceremonial proclamation. It was adopted by the Senate on January 14, 2025, and now awaits the Governor's action.
