Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2026, as Brain Injury Awareness Month in the State of New York
This is a symbolic Senate Resolution (J 1482), not a bill, requesting Governor Hochul to officially proclaim March 2026 as Brain Injury Awareness Month in New York State. It does not create new laws or allocate funds; it simply asks the Governor to issue a ceremonial proclamation. The resolution cites statistics about brain injuries in New York (over 500 daily incidents, 2,200 annual deaths) and references the Social Brain Organization's community support work. It directly affects the Governor's office and the public by encouraging awareness, though it has no binding legal effect.
