Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 15, 2026, as Water Safety Day in the State of New York

This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate May 15, 2026, as Water Safety Day in New York State. The measure aims to raise public awareness about drowning prevention and the importance of water safety education, particularly for children and vulnerable populations. It does not create new laws or funding but serves as a symbolic gesture to encourage safer behaviors around water. Copies of the resolution will be sent to the governor and various water safety organizations.
