Bill > J00507

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 6, 2025, as Missing Persons Day in New York State, focusing on raising awareness about missing persons and honoring Suzanne Gloria Lyall, a University at Albany student who disappeared in 1998 at age 19. The resolution highlights the significant impact of missing persons on families and communities, noting that thousands of people are labeled as missing in New York, many of whom are adults. It references previous legislative efforts, including "Suzanne's Law" and legislation requiring colleges to adopt plans for investigating missing student reports, to demonstrate the state's ongoing commitment to addressing this issue. The resolution aims to bring attention to the emotional toll on families who continuously grieve and live with uncertainty about their missing loved ones, and seeks to use this designated day as an opportunity to enhance efforts to locate missing persons and provide support to affected families.
