Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 2026, as Polish American Heritage Month in the State of New York
This resolution requests Governor Hochul to issue a proclamation designating October 2026 as Polish American Heritage Month in New York State. It directly addresses the Governor, asking her to formally recognize this observance in alignment with National Polish American Heritage Month. The resolution highlights Polish Americans' historical contributions to New York's cultural, civic, and architectural landscape, including their roles in medicine, business, arts, and community landmarks. As a procedural resolution (not a law), it has no binding effect but serves to formally request the Governor's recognition.
