Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 8, 2025, as Children's Mental Health Awareness Day in the State of New York

This Senate Resolution (J 296) requests Governor Hochul to officially designate May 8, 2025, as Children's Mental Health Awareness Day in New York State. It directly affects the Governor's authority to issue proclamations and aims to raise public awareness about children's mental health. The resolution references national observance and highlights the importance of addressing mental health needs for children, though it does not create new laws or funding. As a procedural memorial, it has no binding effect but seeks to align New York with national efforts to promote youth mental wellness.
