K 260 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 26, 2025, as Purple Day in the State of New York

This is a ceremonial resolution (not a law) requesting Governor Hochul to issue a proclamation designating March 26, 2025, as "Purple Day" in New York. It commemorates National Purple Day, established to raise awareness about epilepsy and reduce stigma around the condition. The resolution explains that purple symbolizes epilepsy awareness (linked to lavender as the international flower of epilepsy) and notes that over 3.5 million people in the U.S. live with epilepsy. It does not create new laws or affect any individuals or policies - its purpose is solely to encourage public recognition of epilepsy awareness.
