        MEMORIALIZING  Governor  Kathy  Hochul to proclaim
        May 2024, as Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month in  the
        State of New York

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  custom  of this Legislative Body to recognize
official months that are set aside  to  increase  awareness  of  serious
issues that affect the lives of citizens of New York State; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions,  this  Legislative  Body  hereby  memorializes
Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2024, as Teen Pregnancy Prevention
Month  in  the  State of New York, in conjunction with the observance of
National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month; and

  WHEREAS, Each May, the nation turns its attention to teen  pregnancy
prevention for a full month; and

  WHEREAS, National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month (NTPPM) highlights
the  historic declines in the rates of teen births in the United States;
and

  WHEREAS, Significant declines have occurred in  all  50  states  and
among all racial/ethnic groups, yet disparities continue; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  imperative that there be greater awareness of this
serious issue, and more must be done to increase activity at the  local,
State and National levels; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize  Governor  Kathy  Hochul  to  proclaim  May  2024,  as  Teen
Pregnancy Prevention Month in the State of New York; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of  New
York.
