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

This resolution asks Governor Hochul to officially designate March 2025 as Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in New York, aligning with the national observance. It does not create new laws or policies but requests the governor issue a proclamation to increase public awareness about colorectal cancer prevention and screening. The resolution cites statistics on colorectal cancer's impact (e.g., it being the second leading cause of cancer death) and emphasizes the importance of early detection through screening. It directly affects public health awareness efforts in New York State during that month.
