Bill K00394 is a legislative resolution congratulating the University at Buffalo Women's Basketball Team for their historic victory in the Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) Championship on April 5, 2025. This resolution acknowledges the significant achievement of the team, highlighting their impressive record of 30 wins and 7 losses, which is a program high. The commendation serves not only as a celebration of the team's success but also as recognition of their contribution to the spirit of excellence in the realm of collegiate sports.
While the bill does not entail significant controversy or legislative contention, it does indirectly invite discussions on the support for collegiate sports programs and their funding.

However, the act itself is largely a unifying gesture that fosters pride and admiration rather than division.
