Commemorating the 33rd Anniversary of the Independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina on March 1, 2025

This is a symbolic resolution (not a law) introduced by Assembly Member M. Buttenschon to commemorate Bosnia and Herzegovina's 33rd Independence Day on March 1, 2025. It formally recognizes the historical significance of Bosnia and Herzegovina's independence, which was declared in 1992 following a referendum. The resolution asks the New York State Assembly to pause its legislative work on that date to honor this occasion, acknowledging the cultural contributions of Bosnian refugees resettled in Utica, New York. It has no binding effect on policy or funding and serves solely as a ceremonial acknowledgment.
