J 430 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim November 2-8, 2025, as Animal Shelter Appreciation Week in the State of New York

This Senate Resolution (J 430) asks Governor Hochul to officially recognize November 2-8, 2025, as "Animal Shelter Appreciation Week" in New York State. It does not create new laws or allocate funding but formally requests the Governor issue a proclamation to honor animal shelters. The resolution highlights shelters' roles in caring for pets, preventing cruelty, and partnering with communities. It directly affects animal shelters by seeking public recognition for their work, though the proclamation itself has no legal effect.
