Bill > K00250

This resolution seeks to memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 6, 2025, as Missing Persons Day in New York State, with a specific focus 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 such as "Suzanne's Law" and campus safety legislation that were enacted in response to missing persons cases, and aims to bring attention to the ongoing challenges of locating missing individuals and providing support to their families. By designating this specific date as Missing Persons Day, the resolution intends to create public awareness about the devastating effects of unexplained disappearances and to offer comfort to families who continue to search for their missing loved ones.
