Title of bill
An act to amend the state law, in relation to a state slogan
Purpose
The bill would codify "I Love New York" as the official state slogan.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 makes "I Love New York" the official state slogan.
Section 2 makes the act take immediately.
Justification
New York state has for years been using the phrase "I Love NY" in State promotions. The slogan has become one of the most recognizable product brands globally, and has been emulated domestically. Ubiquitous in New York State, the slogan appears on thousands of products and promotions offered to both residents and tourists.
The State should take the symbolic step of recognizing our citizens' ownership of the phrase "I Love NY" and codify it as our official State slogan.
