Official English Bill To Be Pursued In New York In 2020

New York State Senator Pam Helming informed ProEnglish that in 2020 she will be trying to move her legislation forward to make English the official language of New York.

Sen. Helming has seen the need to promote unity and to create a common bond among all of New York’s citizens, and passage of S. 163, which would designate English as New York’s official language, would accomplish this and would have an immediate, unifying impact in the Empire State.

32 states across the nation have declared English to be their official language, and New York and Wisconsin both will be pursuing official English legislation in 2020.
