Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 2025 as Aphasia Awareness Month in the State of New York
This is a procedural resolution (not a bill with policy changes) memorializing Governor Hochul to proclaim June 2025 as Aphasia Awareness Month in New York State, aligning with National Aphasia Awareness Month. It requests the Governor issue an official proclamation to increase public awareness of aphasia - a communication disorder often caused by stroke or brain injury. The resolution does not create new laws or alter existing policies; it is a symbolic gesture to recognize the condition and its impact on approximately 2 million people in the U.S. The resolution was adopted by the legislature on February 4, 2025.
