BY: M. of A. DeStefano

        MEMORIALIZING  Governor  Kathy  Hochul to proclaim
        March 24-March 30, 2024, as  Cleaning  Week  in  the
        State of New York

  WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize that
the  quality  and  character  of life in the communities across New York
State are reflective of the concerned and dedicated efforts of  cleaning
organizations   and   front-line   cleaning   professionals  who  devote
themselves to the welfare of the community and its citizenry; and

  WHEREAS, Service to community and country is the foundation  of  our
society, and the contributions and future efforts of those in service to
them  are  a  vital  part  of,  and valuable asset to, the fabric of our
communities; and

  WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and  in  full  accord  with  its
long-standing  traditions,  it is the intent of this Legislative Body to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 24-March  30,  2024,
as  Cleaning Week in the State of New York, in conjunction with National
Cleaning Week; and

  WHEREAS,  Held  on  the  fourth  Sunday  in  March,  Cleaning   Week
celebrates  the importance, value, and positive impact that cleaning has
on public health, the environment, and the economy; this week also calls
to raise public awareness for the  value  of  clean  spaces,  appreciate
front-line  professionals,  promote cleaning organizations, and advocate
for the cleaning industry; and

  WHEREAS, Maintaining a clean environment helps to lower  the  spread
of  viruses,  bacteria,  and  other  pathogens  that  cause diseases and
trigger allergic reactions; furthermore, a clean space has been found to
be closely associated with improved moods, decreased stress levels,  and
enhanced productivity; and

  WHEREAS,  The  International Sanitary Supply Association (ISSA), the
worldwide cleaning industry association, uses National Cleaning Week  to
promote  the  importance of cleanliness, provide education and training,
raise the profile of the cleaning industry, feature ways to  engage  and
explore  educational  opportunities,  support  charitable causes for the
benefit of the industry, and more; and

  WHEREAS, To  welcome  a  fresh  start  with  spring,  Cleaning  Week
encourages  people  to discard winter essentials, declutter, and tidy up
our homes; the week also aims to celebrate the heroes who toil  hard  to
give  us  clean  homes  and offices so people can live and work in clean
environments; and

  WHEREAS, In light of their commitment,  dedication,  and  successful
efforts,  it is the sense of this Legislative Body to extend its highest
commendation to the many  citizens  that  work  tirelessly  to  preserve
cleanliness  and  promote  public  health in the State of New York; now,
therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
memorialize  Governor  Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 24-March 30, 2024,
as Cleaning Week 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
York.
