Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 22, 2026, as Long Island Sound Day in the State of New York

This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially recognize May 22, 2026, as Long Island Sound Day. The measure is a ceremonial resolution that does not change laws or require funding, but instead highlights the economic and ecological importance of the waterway. It notes that the Sound supports a large fishing and boating community and serves as a vital habitat for many species. By designating this specific date, the state aims to encourage public awareness and appreciation for the Long Island Sound.
