Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 15, 2026, as Stiff Person Syndrome Awareness Day in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially recognize March 15, 2026, as Stiff Person Syndrome Awareness Day in New York State. The resolution aims to increase public awareness of this rare neurological disorder, which causes involuntary muscle stiffness and spasms that can affect people of all ages. By designating a specific date for awareness, the bill seeks to highlight the condition and encourage greater understanding and research efforts. The measure does not change laws or funding but serves as a symbolic gesture to draw attention to the health issue.
