Bill > S05909

This bill amends the New York State Executive Law by adding September fourth as "Mother Teresa Remembrance Day" to the existing list of commemorative days in the state. The bill specifically inserts the new commemorative day into subdivision 3 of section 168-a, which already includes numerous other days of remembrance honoring various historical figures, cultural events, and communities, such as Holocaust Remembrance Day, Rosa Parks Day, and Veterans' Days for different conflicts. By establishing September fourth as Mother Teresa Remembrance Day, the bill aims to recognize and honor the legacy of Mother Teresa, a Catholic nun known globally for her humanitarian work among the poor in Calcutta, India, and her Nobel Peace Prize-winning efforts to help the most marginalized populations. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, adding another day to New York State's calendar of commemorative observances that celebrate significant individuals and moments in history.
