Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026, as Older Americans Month in the State of New York

This is a ceremonial resolution (not a law) requesting Governor Hochul to issue a proclamation designating May 2026 as Older Americans Month in New York State. It does not create new policies or affect any residents, as it simply asks the Governor to formally recognize the national observance. The resolution references the historical significance of Older Americans Month, established in 1963 to honor seniors' contributions, but contains no binding requirements. The legislature passed this resolution on January 21, 2026, to memorialize the Governor's role in the annual observance.
