        State of New York

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  custom  of this Legislative Body to recognize
official days that are set aside to increase  awareness  of  initiatives
which affect the lives of citizens of New York State; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
memorialize  Governor  Kathy  Hochul  to proclaim March 2, 2023, as Read
Across America Day in the State of New York,  in  conjunction  with  the
observance of National Read Across America Day; and

  WHEREAS,  Established in 1997, by the National Education Association
(NEA), Read Across America Day  is  an  annual  reading  motivation  and
awareness  program  that  calls  for  every  child in every community to
celebrate reading on March  2nd,  the  birthday  of  beloved  children's
author Dr. Seuss; and

  WHEREAS, Read Across America Day also provides NEA members, parents,
caregivers,  and children the resources and activities they need to keep
reading on the calendar 365 days a year; and

  WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to  help  increase
awareness  of initiatives which affect the lives of citizens of New York
State; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
memorialize  Governor  Kathy  Hochul  to proclaim March 2, 2023, as Read
Across America Day in the State of New York; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted  to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
