Assembly Resolution No. 1295

BY: M. of A. Rules (DeStefano)

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 July 31, 2026, as Lifeguard Appreciation Day in the
 State of New York

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to acknowledge
official days that are set aside to recognize certain individuals who
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 July 31, 2026, as
Lifeguard Appreciation Day in the State of New York; and

 WHEREAS, The annual observance of Lifeguard Appreciation Day on July
31st provides an opportunity for the people of the Empire State to
recognize the vital contributions of the lifeguards in communities,
large and small, throughout New York; and

 WHEREAS, This Legislative Body is proud to recognize that the
quality of life in the communities across this great State of New York
is enriched by the diligence and commitment of those lifeguards who
ensure the safety and welfare of others; and

 WHEREAS, To be eligible for employment as a lifeguard within the New
York State Parks system, all candidates must take and pass an annual
State-administered qualifying procedure; and

 WHEREAS, The qualifying process consists of two sections, a
practical demonstration of lifesaving skills and a practical
demonstration of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) skills; candidates
must pass both sections to be considered for employment; and

 WHEREAS, New York State Parks lifeguards protect more than 25
million swimmers and perform thousands of rescues annually; this
Legislative Body acknowledges and honors those individuals who ensure
the safety and well-being of their fellow New Yorkers; now, therefore,
be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim July 31, 2026, as
Lifeguard Appreciation 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
York.
