Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 20, 2026, as New York State Constitution Day in the State of New York
AI Summary
This resolution, a formal request from the legislative body, urges Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate April 20, 2026, as New York State Constitution Day. The resolution highlights that April 20, 1777, marks the adoption of New York's first constitution, a foundational document that established an independent and democratic state and continues to define the rights and privileges of its citizens. It acknowledges that the state has evolved through five constitutions and numerous amendments over more than 250 years to reflect changing societal values and expand protections, emphasizing the vital importance of the Constitution to state governance and citizen safety, and therefore, the need to educate residents about it. A copy of this resolution will be sent to the Governor.
