Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2025 as Problem Gambling Awareness Month in the State of New York
AI Summary
This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2025 as Problem Gambling Awareness Month in New York State, recognizing the serious impact of problem gambling across various demographics. The resolution highlights findings from a New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) survey showing that five percent of adults (668,000 individuals) and ten percent of seventh through twelfth grade students (140,000 students) exhibited problem gambling behaviors in the past year. With the growing prevalence of mobile sports betting in New York, which has generated over $1.55 billion in tax revenue, the resolution emphasizes the importance of providing education, prevention, and recovery resources for those at risk of gambling addiction. The resolution calls on the governor to officially designate March 2025 as Problem Gambling Awareness Month and urges citizens to increase public awareness about problem gambling and the available support services, ultimately aiming to help individuals recognize and address potential gambling-related issues.
