Bill > J01629

This resolution, a formal expression of opinion by the New York State Legislative Body, urges Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate April 6, 2026, as Tartan Day in New York. This proclamation would coincide with the national observance of Tartan Day, which celebrates the significant achievements and cultural contributions of Scottish Americans to the United States. The resolution highlights the deep historical and cultural ties between Scotland and New York, noting that many New Yorkers have Scottish ancestry and that Scottish immigrants played a vital role in the nation's founding and development. It also acknowledges the enduring influence of Scottish culture on American society and the importance of recognizing the diversity that ethnic groups bring to the state. The resolution concludes by requesting that a copy be sent to the Governor.
