Bill > S02581

This bill amends the New York State Executive Law to add March 25th as "We Care Remembrance Day" to the existing list of annual commemorative days. The bill specifically modifies section 168-a of the executive law by inserting the new commemorative day into the existing roster of days that recognize various historical figures, events, and social causes. This roster already includes numerous memorial and recognition days such as Holocaust Remembrance Day, Rosa Parks Day, and Veterans' Days for different conflicts. The proposed addition of "We Care Remembrance Day" will join these other significant dates in the state's annual calendar of commemorations. The bill is straightforward in its intent, simply adding the new day to the existing list without providing additional context about the specific purpose or meaning of "We Care Remembrance Day". The legislation would take effect immediately upon passage, as specified in the second section of the bill.
