Summary of Bill K 810: Memorializing Governor Hochul to Proclaim October 16, 2025 as Get Smart About Your Credit Day (New York)

Overview

Bill K 810 is a resolution in the New York State Legislature that memorializes the Governor to issue a proclamation recognizing October 16, 2025 as “Get Smart About Your Credit Day” in the State of New York. It is a non-binding, ceremonial measure aimed at promoting financial literacy and awareness about credit management.

Purpose and Intent

  • To request the Governor to publicly proclaim October 16, 2025 as Get Smart About Your Credit Day in New York.
  • To encourage residents, educators, libraries, businesses, and community organizations to engage in activities that promote understanding of credit, budgeting, debt management, and responsible borrowing.
  • To align state recognition with a nationwide emphasis on financial literacy and credit awareness (as a symbolic observance).

Key Provisions

  • The bill is a memorializing resolution, not a statute. It does not authorize new programs, create duties for state agencies, or authorize expenditures.
  • The central provision is a directive to the Governor to issue a proclamation designating October 16, 2025, as Get Smart About Your Credit Day within the state.

Affected Parties and Impacts

  • Primary effect: A formal request to the Governor to issue a ceremonial proclamation.
  • Secondary effect: Signals state-level emphasis on financial literacy; may encourage schools, libraries, financial institutions, and nonprofit organizations to host or participate in outreach activities on or around the designated day.
  • Fiscal impact: Likely minimal or none, given the ceremonial nature of proclamations and lack of funding or program creation in the text.

Procedural History and Timeline

  • Introduced: June 13, 2025.
  • Referred to Calendar: June 13, 2025.
  • Adopted: June 16, 2025.
  • Status: Adopted resolution (non-binding), awaiting any formal proclamation by the Governor if pursued.

Practical Considerations

  • This is a symbolic measure; it does not implement new policy, regulations, or funding.
  • If the Governor issues the proclamation, it would publicly designate October 16, 2025 as Get Smart About Your Credit Day in New York, potentially guiding collaborative educational activities across public and private sectors.
