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

Assembly Resolution 792, adopted by the New York State Assembly on June 12, 2025, requests Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim November 2025 as Epilepsy Awareness Month in New York State, aligning with National Epilepsy Awareness Month. This symbolic resolution does not create new laws or funding but aims to raise public awareness about epilepsy, a condition affecting approximately 470,000 children and 3 million adults in the U.S. The resolution cites statistics on epilepsy's prevalence and impact to support its call for increased recognition. It serves as a formal legislative effort to encourage broader community engagement and education around epilepsy.
