Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to establishing October seventh of each year as a day of commemoration known as "October 7th Remembrance Day"
AI Summary
This bill amends the New York State executive law by adding "October 7th Remembrance Day" to the state's existing list of annual commemorative days. The bill inserts a new line into the existing statute that establishes October 7th as a day of remembrance, joining numerous other commemorative days already recognized by the state, such as Holocaust Remembrance Day, Juneteenth Freedom Day, and September 11th Remembrance Day. The addition of this specific day appears to be in response to the October 7th, 2023 Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel, which resulted in significant loss of life and took many Israeli civilians hostage. By creating an official day of remembrance, the bill aims to honor the victims of this tragedy and ensure that the events of that day are not forgotten. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, which means the first official "October 7th Remembrance Day" would be observed in the calendar year of its enactment.
