✦ Plain-Language Summary
This resolution urges New York State lawmakers and the Governor to pass a law that would allow the state to manufacture generic drugs at lower costs. The goal is to make essential medications more affordable for New Yorkers by reducing dependence on private pharmaceutical companies that charge high prices. While this is a City Council resolution, it has no direct legal power — it's a formal statement of support meant to pressure state officials to act.
