Bill Summary
This joint resolution designates the third full week in December of each year as "Teen Driver Safety Awareness Week," in honor of Kyleigh D'Alessio, to foster awareness and promote safe driving practices among teenage drivers. Raising awareness among teenagers, parents, and teachers, is crucial to effect a change in unsafe driving behavior so that the number of teenagers who die on New Jersey's roadways each year is dramatically reduced. Ms. D'Alessio was a 16-year old honor student and recognized athlete from Long Valley, New Jersey, who died in a motor vehicle accident involving a young driver with multiple passengers. Promoting safe driving practices is vital to prevent similar tragedies. The resolution respectfully requests that the Governor annually issue a proclamation calling upon public officials and citizens of this State to observe "Teen Driver Safety Awareness Week" with appropriate activities and programs.
