Summary: Assembly Memorial Resolution K696 – Urological Health Awareness Month (New York)

Overview

Assembly Memorial Resolution (K696) is a ceremonial, non-binding measure that memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 2025 as Urological Health Awareness Month in the State of New York. Introduced on June 5, 2025, the resolution has been adopted by the sponsor’s chamber and is designed to publicly recognize the importance of urological health.

Purpose and Intent

  • The primary purpose is to request the Governor to issue a proclamation declaring September 2025 as Urological Health Awareness Month in New York.
  • The resolution seeks to raise public awareness about urological health issues and related education, screening, and preventive efforts during the designated month.
  • It serves to highlight the importance of timely information, outreach, and support for individuals affected by urological health conditions.

Key Provisions

  • Status: Adopted (ceremonial resolution; no enforceable legal requirements or funding).
  • Action Requested: The Governor is urged to proclaim September 2025 as Urological Health Awareness Month.
  • Scope: Focuses on recognizing and promoting awareness within the State of New York during the specified month.
  • Fiscal/Policy Implications: The resolution does not authorize appropriations or create new programs by itself; any implementation would depend on the Governor’s proclamation and subsequent public health messaging or activities.

Sponsor

  • Primary Sponsor: Charles Lavine

Procedural History

  • Introduced: June 5, 2025
  • Referred to Calendar: June 5, 2025 (listed twice in the legislative actions)
  • Adopted: June 6, 2025 (listed twice in the legislative actions)
  • Status: Adopted, indicating passage through the sponsoring chamber and readiness for presentation to the Governor (if applicable and in the other chamber as applicable in the legislative process).

Affected Parties and Impact

  • Affected/Interested Groups: Public health organizations, urology professionals, patient advocacy groups, and the general public in New York.
  • Impact: Increases visibility around urological health topics and may catalyze related educational efforts and awareness campaigns during September 2025 if followed by a gubernatorial proclamation. It is ceremonial and does not create new obligations or funding.

Additional Notes

  • Because this is a memorial resolution, its practical effect hinges on the Governor’s proclamation. If issued, September 2025 would be officially designated as Urological Health Awareness Month in New York.

Next Steps

  • If the Governor issues the proclamation, a formal recognition or public health messaging may accompany the observance.
  • No further legislative action is typically required unless similar resolutions are introduced in subsequent sessions.
