J 1606 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

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

This is a symbolic resolution (not a law) requesting Governor Hochul to designate May 2026 as Hypertension Awareness Month in New York. It does not create new policies or funding but asks the Governor to officially recognize the month to promote public awareness about hypertension prevention, detection, and management. The resolution cites hypertension's health impacts (affecting nearly half of U.S. adults) and supports educational efforts, though it does not mandate specific actions. The legislature adopted this resolution on February 25, 2026.
