Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026, as Hepatitis C Awareness Month in the State of New York

This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially designate May 2026 as Hepatitis C Awareness Month. The resolution highlights the importance of educating the public about Hepatitis C, which often goes unnoticed because it has few symptoms. It specifically notes the need for awareness among baby boomers and those affected by the opioid crisis. The bill does not change laws or allocate funding but serves to raise visibility for the disease and encourage learning about its prevention and treatment.
