The New York State Assembly adopted a series of ceremonial legislative resolutions by voice vote, the clerk recorded, including proclamations and awareness observances.
Resolutions approved on the floor (voice votes; no roll call tallies recorded in the transcript): - Assembly No. 307 — Memorializing the Governor to proclaim April 2025 as Black Maternal Health Week (adopted). - Assembly No. 308 — Memorializing the Governor to proclaim April 2025 as Public Safety Telecommunicators Week (adopted). - Assembly No. 310 — Memorializing the Governor to proclaim April 2025 as Lyme and tick‑borne disease awareness month (adopted; sponsors hosted an awareness event and visitors in the LOB). - Assembly No. 311 — Memorializing the Governor to proclaim April 2025 as Oral Cancer Awareness Month (clerk read item; sponsor described mouth/oral cancer and the value of dental screening; adopted). - Assembly No. 312 — Memorializing the Governor to proclaim Aug. 15, 2025, as Indian Independence Day in New York State (adopted). - Assembly No. 313 — Memorializing the Governor to proclaim Oct. 6, 2025, as Danish American Heritage Day in New York State (adopted).
Speakers who introduced or spoke about items on the floor included the Assembly Clerk (reading items), Assemblymember Levenberg (introduced the oral cancer awareness resolution and discussed screenings), Assemblymember Barrett (Lyme awareness, see separate coverage), Assemblymember Cassey (Long Island impacts), and Assemblymember Jensen (Danish American Heritage Day remarks). The transcript contains voice‑vote adoption language for each resolution: "On the resolution, all those in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed, no. The resolution is adopted." No recorded roll‑call votes or tallies appear in the provided transcript.
These measures are ceremonial proclamations asking the governor to declare observances or recognizing community groups and do not by themselves appropriate funds or create new statutory obligations.
