This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially recognize February 7-14, 2026, as Court Reporting and Captioning Week in the state. It directly honors court reporters and captioners who create accurate records of court proceedings and provide real-time text for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. The resolution highlights the importance of these professionals in ensuring fair, transparent, and accessible justice for all New Yorkers. Copies of the bill will be sent to the Governor, relevant state agencies, and professional organizations as a formal gesture of appreciation.
