Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 13, 2026 as Korean American Day in the State of New York

This bill is a symbolic resolution requesting Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim January 13, 2026, as Korean American Day in New York State. It commemorates the 123rd anniversary of the 1903 arrival of the first large wave of Korean immigrants to the U.S. (landing in Hawaii on January 13, 1903). The resolution highlights Korean Americans' historical contributions to New York and U.S. society, including economic, cultural, and military service. As a commemorative measure with no policy changes, it does not create new laws or affect any specific group.
