Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 4-10, 2026, as Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially declare the week of May 4-10, 2026, as Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week in New York. The measure aims to raise public understanding of tardive dyskinesia, a movement disorder that can occur in people taking certain long-term psychiatric medications. By designating this specific time period for awareness, the bill seeks to highlight the importance of early detection and available treatments for those affected. The resolution does not change laws or funding but serves to draw attention to the condition and encourage healthcare discussions.
