J 125 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 2025, as Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month in the State of New York

This bill is a non-binding resolution urging Governor Hochul to officially designate September 2025 as Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month in New York. It directly affects New Yorkers by requesting the governor issue a proclamation to increase public awareness of gynecologic cancers (including cervical, ovarian, and uterine cancers), which impact over 113,000 women annually. The resolution highlights the need for better public education on symptoms, prevention, and the CDC’s symptom-tracking tool, without creating new laws or funding. As a ceremonial resolution, it has no legal effect beyond encouraging awareness efforts.
