BY: M. of A. Lupardo

        MEMORIALIZING Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim
        May  2019,  as Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month
        in the State of New York

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

  WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and  in  full  accord  with  its
long-standing  traditions,  it  is the sense of this Legislative Body to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim May 2019, as Motorcycle
Safety and Awareness Month in the State of New York; and

  WHEREAS, Each year, motorcycle riders are killed by drivers  who  do
not  see them; greater public awareness must be achieved in an effort to
reduce the numbers of fatalities; and

  WHEREAS, In addition, the  number  of  motorcyclists  is  increasing
yearly;  further  education is necessary in an effort to teach riders to
become more aware of safety issues and possible road hazards; and

  WHEREAS, It is imperative that there be greater public awareness  of
this serious safety issue, and more must be done to increase activity at
the local, State and national levels; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim May 2019, as Motorcycle
Safety and Awareness Month in the State of New York; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That a copy of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted  to  The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the State of
New York.
