Bill Summary
Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim December 3, 2025, as International Day of Persons with Disabilities in the State of New York
AI Summary
This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim December 3, 2025, as International Day of Persons with Disabilities in New York State, recognizing the United Nations-established observance that aims to promote understanding of disability issues and support the dignity, rights, and well-being of persons with disabilities. The resolution highlights the significant challenges faced by approximately one billion people with disabilities, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, which exacerbated pre-existing inequalities and exposed the extent of societal exclusion. It emphasizes the importance of an integrated approach to ensure people with disabilities have equal opportunities for work, health, education, and community participation, and calls for active consultation with disability representative organizations to create a more inclusive post-pandemic world. The resolution ultimately requests that a copy of the document be transmitted to Governor Hochul, symbolically supporting the recognition of International Day of Persons with Disabilities and advocating for greater awareness and support for individuals with disabilities.
