Summary: Bill K 300 — Memorializing Governor Hochul to proclaim April 6, 2025, as Tartan Day in the State of New York

Overview

Bill K 300 is a memorializing resolution urging the Governor of New York to proclaim April 6, 2025, as Tartan Day within the state. It is a ceremonial measure and does not itself create new law or authorize spending.

Purpose and Intent

  • Formal request to the Governor to issue a proclamation recognizing Tartan Day on April 6, 2025.
  • Aims to honor Scottish heritage and the contributions of Scottish-Americans to New York and the broader United States.
  • Serves as a ceremonial acknowledgment intended to promote cultural awareness and participation in related observances.

Key Provisions

  • Urges the Governor to proclaim April 6, 2025, as Tartan Day in the State of New York.
  • Identifies Tartan Day as a day for recognizing Scottish heritage and its impact.
  • Clarifies that the measure is ceremonial and does not impose new obligations, create duties, or authorize appropriations.

Sponsors

  • Primary sponsor: Alex Bores

Status and Procedural History

  • Introduced: April 2, 2025
  • Referred to Calendar: April 2, 2025
  • Adopted: April 3, 2025 (noted as ADOPTED in Legislative Actions)
  • Current status: Adopted (by the chamber that considered the bill); any further action would depend on passage by the other chamber and approval by the Governor.

Potential Impact

  • Non-binding ceremonial recognition that may encourage the celebration of Tartan Day activities, events, and educational programs within New York.
  • Could enhance visibility of Scottish heritage in communities through proclamations, ceremonies, and related public messaging.
  • No direct fiscal impact or statutory changes are anticipated, given the resolution’s ceremonial nature.

Notes

  • As a memorializing resolution, K 300 does not create enforceable rights or obligations beyond the governor’s potential issuance of a proclamation.
  • If enacted by the opposite chamber and signed by the Governor, the proclamation would formalize the designation of Tartan Day in New York for 2025.
