Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2026, as Autism Acceptance Month in the State of New York

This bill is a non-binding resolution memorializing Governor Hochul to proclaim April 2026 as Autism Acceptance Month in New York State. It does not create new laws or allocate funds but requests the Governor issue a formal proclamation aligning with National Autism Acceptance Month and World Autism Acceptance Day. The resolution highlights autism's impact (affecting ~1 in 36 children in the U.S.) and emphasizes shifting from "awareness" to "acceptance" to foster inclusion. It directly affects the Governor's office, requiring no action from other entities.
