Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 2025, as Recovery Month in the State of New York

This Assembly Resolution (K 264) requests Governor Hochul to issue a proclamation designating September 2025 as "Recovery Month" in New York State, aligning with the nationally recognized National Recovery Month observed every September. It does not create new laws or allocate funding but formally asks the Governor to recognize this observance, which highlights mental health and substance use recovery services. The resolution references the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) National Recovery Month, established in 1989, which celebrates recovery achievements and promotes access to treatment and prevention resources. The resolution was adopted by the Assembly on March 26, 2025, and will be sent to the Governor for consideration.
