        MEMORIALIZING  Governor  Kathy  Hochul to proclaim
        April 2025, as Workplace Violence  Prevention  Month
        in the State of New York

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  custom  of this Legislative Body to recognize
officially as Workplace Violence  Prevention  Month  with  the  goal  of
increasing awareness to prevent and combat workplace violence; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
memorialize  Governor  Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2025, as Workplace
Violence Prevention Month in the State of New York; and

  WHEREAS, Every individual deserves a workplace that is free from the
threat of violence, fostering safety  and  stability  within  our  local
communities; and

  WHEREAS, Healthcare workers, whom the federal government reports are
five  times  more likely to experience workplace violence than employees
in all other industries, deserve a secure  and  violence-free  workplace
environment; and

  WHEREAS,  April  is  federally  acknowledged  as  Workplace Violence
Prevention Awareness Month, emphasizing the national commitment to  this
crucial cause; and

  WHEREAS,  Everyone is entitled to a workplace free of violence; now,
therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
memorialize  Governor  Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2025, as Workplace
Violence Prevention Month in the State of New York; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That copies of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted  to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York; the New York American College of  Emergency  Physicians;  the  New
York  State  Emergency  Nurses  Association;  and  the  American  Nurses
Association of New York.
