Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 2025, as Cytomegalovirus Awareness Month in the State of New York

This is a symbolic resolution (not a bill) urging Governor Hochul to designate June 2025 as Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Awareness Month in New York. It directly aims to increase public awareness about CMV, a common virus that can cause congenital infections in newborns, leading to hearing loss or other disabilities. The resolution highlights that many pregnant women lack awareness of CMV risks and prevention methods (like handwashing after diaper changes), and notes that CMV affects 1 in 200 newborns, with 1 in 5 developing long-term health issues. It does not create new laws or funding but seeks to elevate community education efforts.
