Bill > J01394

This resolution, a formal request from the New York State Legislative Body, urges Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate April 21, 2026, as Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Day in New York. This proclamation would coincide with AML World Awareness Day, an international effort to highlight this serious illness. The resolution explains that AML is an aggressive cancer affecting the blood and bone marrow, specifically impacting the production of healthy red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets due to genetic abnormalities. It also outlines common symptoms like shortness of breath, bruising, fever, weakness, and infection, emphasizing that AML typically progresses rapidly and requires treatment. The core purpose of this legislative action is to increase public awareness of AML and encourage greater efforts at all levels to combat this disease.
