Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 28, 2026, as MWBE Advocacy Day in the State of New York

This Senate Resolution directs Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate April 28, 2026, as MWBE Advocacy Day in New York State. The measure honors the state's ongoing efforts to support Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises by recognizing their role in economic empowerment and addressing historical disparities in government contracting. While the bill does not alter existing laws or funding, it serves as a formal acknowledgment of past initiatives and encourages continued collaboration between state agencies, business owners, and stakeholders to improve program effectiveness. Copies of the resolution will be sent to the Governor and relevant business owners across the state.
