BILL NUMBER:S3580 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the executive law, in relation to designating the month of May as Korean American Family Month PURPOSE OF THE BILL: The purpose of the bill is to designate May as Korean American Family Month. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill adds a new section 168-b to define a month of commemoration as a calendar month designated by this section or designated by a proclamation of the governor or a jointly adopted resolution by the senate and assembly. It also designates May as Korean American Family Month. Section 2 provides for this act to take effect immediately. JUSTIFICATION: In December of 1902, 56 men, 21 women and 25 children left Korea and traveled across the Pacific Ocean on the S.S. Gaelic and landed in
Honolulu, Hawaii, on January 13, 1903. Since their arrival, Korean Americans have taken root and thrived in the United States through strong family ties, community support and hard work. Family values and the importance of education are at the core of Korean culture. Specifically, the concept of "filial piety," or love and respect for one's parents and ancestors, is a vital family virtue honored by Koreans for centuries. May is considered "Family Month" in Korean culture with Children's Day falling on May 5th, Parents' Day on May 8th, and Teachers' Day on May 15th. Children's Day was founded in 1923, by Jeong-Hwan Bang, a children's book author and children's rights activist, to promote love and respect for youth. The Proclamation of Children's Day, which was presented by Mr. Bang on May 1, 1923, contains eight requests by children to adults, such as treating children with respect and providing a caring environment for children to learn and develop. Acknowledging that children are the future of the nation, the day became a public holiday in Korea in 1975, allowing parents and children to spend the day together to strengthen the ties of the family. Since 1973, Koreans have celebrated Parents' Day on May 8th by presenting their parents with a red carnation and gifts. In addition, various ceremonies are held in the Korean American community to recognize sons and daughters who have rendered exemplary care and services to parents and elderly. May 15th is designated as Teacher's Day. While teachers are not blood relatives, they have long occupied a special place of honor and dignity in Korean culture. Korea has a long tradition of sincere respect and admiration for teachers, and students are taught to respect their teachers from the very first time they enter a school. Respect for teachers does not only take place in schools but also in every household. It goes along with Korean culture where the elderly are greatly respected for their lifelong wisdom and hard work on behalf of Korean society. The Korean American community in New York State continues to honor family values through various events and ceremonies held annually during the month of May. According to the 2010 United States Census, there are over 153, 000 Korean Americans living in New York. The State of New York has been richer, culturally, economically and intellectually, as a result of many contributions of its vibrant Korean American community. Therefore, it is appropriate to designate May as Korean American Family Month. PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: None. EFFECTIVE DATE: This act would take effect on the first of January after it shall have become law.
