Summary of Bill K 791: Memorializing Governor Hochul to Proclaim October 26, 2025 as Day of the Deployed in New York

Overview

Bill K 791 is a memorializing resolution (a non-binding measure) introduced June 11, 2025 and adopted by the Legislature on June 12, 2025. Its purpose is to urge Governor Kathy Hochul to issue a proclamation designating October 26, 2025, as the Day of the Deployed in the State of New York. The sponsor listed is Marianne Buttenschon (primary).

Purpose and Intent

  • The bill seeks symbolic statewide recognition of military personnel who are deployed and of their families.
  • By requesting a gubernatorial proclamation, the measure aims to elevate public awareness, appreciation, and support for servicemembers who are deployed and for veterans’ communities within New York.

Key Provisions

  • Directs or requests the Governor to proclaim October 26, 2025, as Day of the Deployed in New York.
  • As a memorializing resolution, it does not establish new state law, create duties for state agencies, or authorize spending.
  • The resolution does not specify any events, programs, or requirements beyond the Governor’s proclamation.

Affected Parties

  • Military service members who are deployed and their families (primarily through heightened recognition and public awareness).
  • State government and state agencies (insofar as they participate in or promote commemorative activities tied to the proclamation).
  • School districts, veterans’ organizations, and the broader public may observe or participate in related observances or ceremonies, if they choose.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • Introduced: June 11, 2025.
  • Referral: Referred to Calendar on June 11, 2025.
  • Adopted: June 12, 2025 (the memorializing resolution was adopted by the Legislature).
  • Next step (external to the Legislature): Submission to Governor Hochul for signature or endorsement as a proclamation. As a resolution, it does not require a signature to become law, but it typically prompts a gubernatorial proclamation.

Fiscal Impact

  • No monetary appropriation or mandatory fiscal obligation is indicated. Being a memorializing resolution, it is not expected to have a direct budgetary impact.

Sponsor

  • Primary sponsor: Senator Marianne Buttenschon.

Practical Impact

  • The bill’s adoption creates a formal legislative request for the Governor to proclaim a statewide Day of the Deployed on October 26, 2025.
  • If the Governor issues the proclamation, communities may hold ceremonies, educational activities, and public acknowledgments honoring deployed service members and their families.
