Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 23, 2025, as Pakistan-American Heritage Day in the State of New York
Senate Resolution J 487 requests Governor Hochul to proclaim March 23, 2025, as Pakistan-American Heritage Day in New York State. It recognizes the contributions of New York's Pakistani-American community, including the 194,000 residents in New York City, and aims to foster appreciation for their cultural heritage. The resolution is a symbolic gesture, not a law, and asks the Governor to issue the proclamation without imposing new requirements or funding. It was adopted by the Senate and will be transmitted to the Governor, the Pakistani Consulate, and the American Pakistani Advocacy Group.
