Designates the state of New York a purple heart state.

This bill proposes to recognize the state of New York as a Purple Heart state, honoring those who have been wounded or killed in service to the country. The bill is intended to show respect and gratitude for military service members who have been injured or died in the line of duty. It would affect the state's residents, particularly those who have served in the military or have family members who have served, by providing a symbolic recognition of their sacrifices.

The bill has progressed through both the Assembly and Senate, undergoing several readings and modifications. As of November 5, 2025, it has been signed into law by the Assembly and is now officially in effect. This process involved multiple committees reviewing the bill, making recommendations, and eventually passing it through both legislative houses.

Key actions in the legislative process include its introduction on January 8, 2025, referral to appropriate committees, and passage by both the Assembly and Senate. Notably, the bill was enrolled on November 3, 2025, and signed into law two days later, on November 5, 2025.
