Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2025, as Workplace Violence Prevention Month in the State of New York
This bill is a symbolic resolution (S.28) urging Governor Hochul to officially designate April 2025 as "Workplace Violence Prevention Month" in New York. It does not create new laws but seeks to raise public awareness about workplace safety, particularly highlighting that healthcare workers face five times higher violence risk than other industries. The resolution formally memorializes the Governor to issue the proclamation, with copies sent to state officials and healthcare advocacy groups like the American Nurses Association. It aligns with national recognition of April as Workplace Violence Prevention Awareness Month.
