Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 26, 2026, as the 213th Anniversary of Juan Pablo Duarte Day in the State of New York

This bill is a ceremonial resolution requesting Governor Hochul to officially recognize January 26, 2026, as "Juan Pablo Duarte Day" in New York State. It honors Juan Pablo Duarte, the founding father of the Dominican Republic, and acknowledges the contributions of Dominicans - particularly the over two million in the U.S. and many in New York - to the state's diversity and communities. The resolution has no legal effect; it simply asks the governor to issue a proclamation for the commemorative date.
