Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 2026, as Blood Cancer Awareness Month in the State of New York
This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate September 2026 as Blood Cancer Awareness Month in New York State. The resolution aims to increase public knowledge about blood cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma, by highlighting symptoms, risk factors, and available treatments. It does not change laws or allocate funding but serves as a symbolic gesture to encourage education and support for patients and their families. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the Governor and Blood Cancer United to formalize the proclamation.
