Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim January 27, 2026, as Holocaust Remembrance Day in the State of New York

This bill (K 869) is a symbolic resolution requesting Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim January 27, 2026, as Holocaust Remembrance Day in New York State. It does not create new laws or directly affect specific groups, but formally asks the Governor to recognize this date for statewide remembrance. The resolution cites the historical significance of the Holocaust, aligns with the UN-designated International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, and emphasizes preventing future atrocities through education. As a commemorative resolution, it requires the Governor's action to take effect but has no binding policy impact.
