Bill > S05214

This bill amends the New York State General Construction Law to officially designate September 11th as a public holiday known as "September 11th Memorial and Remembrance Day". By adding this date to the existing list of public holidays, the bill ensures that September 11th will be recognized alongside other significant commemorative days like Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Veterans' Day, and Independence Day. The addition of this holiday serves to honor the memory of the victims and the profound national impact of the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, meaning that September 11th will be officially recognized as a public holiday in New York State, which may include provisions for government offices, schools, and other public institutions to observe the day in a manner that commemorates its historical significance.
