Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2025, as Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month in the State of New York

This resolution memorializes Governor Hochul to proclaim March 2025 as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Awareness Month in New York State. It does not create new laws or programs but requests the governor issue a formal proclamation to raise public awareness about MS, a neurological condition affecting approximately 1 million Americans, including many New Yorkers. The resolution highlights MS symptoms, prevalence (especially among women), and the National MS Society's role in supporting over 34,000 New Yorkers with the disease. It was adopted by the Assembly on March 3, 2025, and transmits the resolution to the governor and MS Society chapters. This is a ceremonial measure focused on public education, not policy change.
