Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 6, 2026, as Missing Persons Day in the State of New York
This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially declare April 6, 2026, as Missing Persons Day in the state. The resolution is sponsored by Senator Tediscio and is intended to raise awareness about unexplained disappearances and honor Suzanne Lyall, a University at Albany student who has been missing since 1998. The legislation does not create new laws or change existing policies; instead, it serves as a symbolic gesture to recognize the ongoing issue of missing persons and bring attention to the families affected. The bill directs the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to Governor Kathy Hochul for her consideration.
