beneficial uses have been of vital importance to New York's history,
growth, and financial health; and

 WHEREAS, Lakes and reservoirs of this great Empire State improve the
quality of life for all of New York's residents and their importance
should not go unnoticed; and

 WHEREAS, The State of New York recognizes the need to protect these
lakes and reservoirs for future generations; and

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim July 2026, as Lake
