Bill > K00290

This resolution seeks to memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 22, 2025, as Ameloblastoma Day in New York State, with the aim of raising awareness about a rare head and neck tumor. Ameloblastoma is a medical condition that occurs in the jaw near the molars, with an estimated annual incidence of 0.5 per million people. While typically benign and slow-growing, these tumors can be locally destructive and have a high recurrence rate, and if left untreated, they can potentially grow large and pose risks to the airway. The resolution emphasizes the importance of public awareness about ameloblastoma to help lower potential health risks and support those living with the condition. The legislative body is formally requesting that the governor officially recognize this day to help educate the public about this rare medical condition, and a copy of the resolution will be transmitted to Governor Hochul as an official record of this request.
