Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2026 as the Month of the Military Child in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate April 2026 as the Month of the Military Child in New York. It aims to honor the over 44,000 military children living in the state and their families who face unique challenges due to frequent moves and deployments. The resolution aligns with a national observance and marks Friday, April 10, 2026, as Purple Up Day, encouraging communities to wear purple to show support. While the bill does not create new laws or funding, it serves as a formal recognition of the contributions and sacrifices made by these families.
