Assembly adopts ceremonial resolutions for Korean American Day, Tamil Heritage Month and Bagel Day; advances calendar
Summary
The Assembly adopted ceremonial resolutions proclaiming Jan. 13 Korean American Day, designated January as Tamil Heritage Month in conjunction with a Jan. 14 observance, and recognized Jan. 15 as Bagel Day; the chamber welcomed guests and advanced the A calendar before adjourning.
The New York State Assembly adopted multiple ceremonial resolutions and advanced its main calendar during the morning session on Jan. 13, 2025.
Clerk-read resolutions included Assembly No. 10, requesting that the governor proclaim Jan. 13, 2025, as Korean American Day in New York. Assemblymember Kim, sponsor of No. 10, spoke in support, saying the day commemorates Korean American culture and contributions and noting a personal tribute to his father. "I rise to honor my father, who passed away ... a day before the Korean American day on January 12," Kim said, describing small business entrepreneurship and community contributions.
The Assembly then took up Assembly No. 11, asking the governor to proclaim January as Tamil Heritage Month in conjunction with an observance on Jan. 14, and Assembly No. 12, requesting proclamation of Jan. 15 as Bagel Day. Each resolution was adopted by voice vote as the Clerk called the results in the affirmative.
Members also introduced guests on the floor: Assemblymember Giglio introduced Brock Pierce and asked members to welcome him; the Speaker extended the privileges of the floor. Assemblymember Walsh introduced former colleague Congressman Mike Lawler, whom the Speaker also welcomed.
After the short series of readings and introductions, Assemblymember People Stokes moved to advance the A calendar; the motion carried. Stokes reminded members that the governor's State of the State address would be at 1 p.m. at the Hart Theatre. The Assembly adjourned on her motion until Wednesday, Jan. 15; the transcript records the clerk announcing the adjournment.
