Purpose and Intent

The bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to issue a proclamation declaring June 16–20, 2025 as “Sanitation Workers Week” in New York. The intent is to publicly acknowledge the essential services sanitation workers provide and to promote appreciation for their contributions to public health, cleanliness, and daily life in the state.

Key Provisions

  • The resolution memorializes Governor Hochul to proclaim June 16–20, 2025 as Sanitation Workers Week.
  • It requests, rather than creates, any new statutory authority or obligations; the proclamation would be at the Governor’s discretion.
  • No new funding, programs, or regulatory changes are authorized by this measure.
  • Observance is limited to the specified June 16–20, 2025 window, unless the proclamation extends it (which would be at the Governor’s discretion).

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Sanitation workers: Formal public recognition and a designated observance period.
  • General public and state government: Increased awareness and acknowledgment of sanitation workers’ contributions.
  • No direct regulatory changes or fiscal obligations are created by the resolution.

Procedural and Timeline Details

  • Introduced: June 6, 2025
  • Referred to calendar: June 6, 2025
  • Adopted: June 9, 2025 (in both chambers, as indicated by the two “ADOPTED” entries)
  • Effective action: The resolution becomes official upon adoption by both legislative chambers and subsequent transmission to the Governor for proclamation.

Fiscal/Administrative Considerations

  • The measure is ceremonial in nature and does not authorize spending or create new programs.
  • Any costs would be incidental to implementing a proclamation or related observances, but none are mandated by the resolution itself.

Summary

K 720 is a non-binding, ceremonial resolution urging the Governor to proclaim June 16–20, 2025 as Sanitation Workers Week in New York. It has been adopted by the legislature and is intended to honor sanitation workers’ essential service without altering existing laws or creating new fiscal obligations.
