Bill > K00383

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim April 2025 as Workplace Violence Prevention Month in New York State, highlighting the critical need to address workplace safety. The resolution emphasizes that every individual deserves a workplace free from violence, with particular attention to healthcare workers, who are reported to be five times more likely to experience workplace violence compared to employees in other industries. Recognizing that April is already federally acknowledged as Workplace Violence Prevention Awareness Month, the resolution calls for increasing awareness and combating workplace violence. The legislative body formally requests that the governor issue a proclamation and that copies of the resolution be transmitted to the governor, the New York American College of Emergency Physicians, the New York State Emergency Nurses Association, and the American Nurses Association of New York, underscoring the importance of creating safe and stable work environments across the state.
