Assembly Resolution No. 1300 is a ceremonial resolution recognizing and celebrating Mother’s Day on May 10, 2026. The resolution recounts the history of Mother’s Day, including Anna Jarvis’s advocacy and President Woodrow Wilson’s 1914 proclamation, and it emphasizes the importance of honoring mothers and other women who serve as mother figures in children’s lives.
The measure does not create, amend, or repeal any substantive law. Instead, it expresses the Assembly’s appreciation for mothers, grandmothers, aunts, stepmothers, friends, big sisters, and others who provide care, guidance, and support, and it formally pauses legislative business to mark the occasion.
Impact
Because this is a nonbinding resolution, it has no direct legal or fiscal impact and does not change state statutes, regulations, or agency duties. Its effect is symbolic and commemorative, adding the Assembly’s official recognition to the observance of Mother’s Day and highlighting the contributions of mothers and mother figures in New York.
Sentiment
The sentiment around the bill is uniformly positive and celebratory. The text is entirely laudatory, and there is no recorded committee debate, vote, or opposition in the provided materials. The resolution reflects a traditional, consensus-based gesture of appreciation rather than a contested policy proposal.
Contention
No notable points of contention are evident in the bill text or the available legislative history. There are no committee transcripts, no recorded votes, and no amendments or objections shown. As a ceremonial resolution, it appears to have been noncontroversial and broadly agreeable.
