J 1766 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 2026, as Caribbean Heritage Month in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially declare June 2026 as Caribbean Heritage Month in New York State. The resolution recognizes the cultural contributions of Caribbean people and their descendants to New York's diverse community. It follows a similar national tradition where the White House has proclaimed June as Caribbean-American Heritage Month since 2006. The bill requires no new funding or policy changes; it simply directs the governor to issue a ceremonial proclamation acknowledging Caribbean heritage.
