S 6911 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to establishing June twentieth as Edie Windsor Day

This bill designates June 20 as "Edie Windsor Day" in New York State, adding it to the official list of commemorative days in the executive law. It directly affects New York State by establishing this annual observance to honor Edie Windsor, a prominent LGBTQ+ rights activist and plaintiff in a landmark Supreme Court case. The key mechanism is an amendment to Section 168-a of the executive law, which lists days of commemoration, inserting "June twentieth, to be known as 'Edie Windsor Day'." The bill is purely symbolic, with no new funding or regulatory changes, and follows the same format as other existing commemorative days in the law.
