J 2246 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 28 - October 4, 2026, as Frontotemporal Degeneration Awareness Week in the State of New York

This bill directs the Governor of New York to officially recognize September 28 through October 4, 2026, as Frontotemporal Degeneration Awareness Week. The legislation aims to highlight a rare and incurable brain disease that primarily affects people under the age of 60 and impacts speech, behavior, and movement. By designating this specific week, the bill seeks to increase public understanding of the condition and encourage greater awareness efforts across the state. The measure does not allocate funding or change laws but serves as a symbolic proclamation to draw attention to the disease.
