Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 19-25, 2026, as Medical Laboratory Professionals Week in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially recognize April 19-25, 2026, as Medical Laboratory Professionals Week in New York. The resolution honors the roughly 13,733 laboratory specialists in the state who perform critical tests to diagnose diseases and monitor treatments. By designating this specific week, the legislature aims to raise public awareness about the essential contributions of these healthcare workers. The measure does not change laws or funding but serves as a formal acknowledgment of the profession's value to public health.
