Bill > K00675

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim October 27-31, 2025, as Stranger Safety and Education Awareness Week in New York, with the intention of establishing an annual observance each third week of October focused on child safety. The primary mission of this awareness week is to reduce child abductions by educating and empowering young children with knowledge and skills to avoid potential dangers, specifically targeting elementary school-aged children. The program will provide schools with a free Safety Awareness Program that utilizes puppets and simple self-defense techniques to teach children about personal safety. By seeking this official proclamation, the Legislative Body aims to recognize and celebrate an initiative that has been positively received by the community and seeks to protect children from potential harm. The resolution requests that an official, engrossed copy be transmitted to Governor Hochul and the Stranger Safety and Awareness Program in New York.
