Bill > S01772

This bill amends the New York State executive law by adding April first as "Alcohol Awareness Day" to the existing list of commemorative days in the state. The bill simply inserts a new line into an existing section of law that enumerates various days of commemoration throughout the year, which already includes a wide range of observances honoring historical figures, veterans, cultural events, and social causes. By designating April first as "Alcohol Awareness Day", the legislation aims to create an annual opportunity to raise public consciousness about alcohol-related issues, potentially including topics such as responsible drinking, alcohol abuse prevention, and the health and social impacts of alcohol consumption. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, meaning the new commemorative day will be officially recognized in the current calendar year.
