Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 20, 2025, as World Refugee Day in the State of New York

This Assembly Resolution (K 667) is a symbolic request asking Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim June 20, 2025, as World Refugee Day in New York State. It does not create new laws or requirements - it only asks the Governor to issue a ceremonial proclamation recognizing refugees. The resolution cites global refugee statistics and New York's history of welcoming immigrants as context for the request. It directly affects the Governor (as the recipient of the memorial) and serves to raise public awareness, not to change policy or provide funding.
