Assembly Resolution No. 1363

BY: M. of A. Rules (Maher)

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 May 2026, as Stop the Bleed Month in the State of
 New York

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize
official months that increase awareness of critical public health issues
affecting the citizens of New York State; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body hereby memorializes
Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026, as Stop the Bleed Month in
the State of New York, in conjunction with the observance of National
Stop the Bleed Month; and

 WHEREAS, Uncontrolled bleeding is a leading cause of preventable
death in emergency situations, and a person can die from severe blood
loss within as little as three to five minutes; and

 WHEREAS, Trauma remains the leading cause of death for Americans
under the age of 46, with hemorrhage identified as the primary cause of
preventable death in traumatic injuries; and

 WHEREAS, Studies indicate that approximately 20 percent of
individuals who die from traumatic injuries could have survived with
timely bleeding control, and nearly 35 percent of pre-hospital deaths
are attributable to blood loss; and

 WHEREAS, The Stop the Bleed initiative, launched in 2015 and
supported by the U.S. Department of Defense, was developed to train and
equip the public with the skills necessary to control severe bleeding in
emergency situations before professional help arrives; and

 WHEREAS, Based on life-saving techniques refined through military
and battlefield medicine, the Stop the Bleed campaign empowers ordinary
citizens to act as immediate responders during critical moments; and

 WHEREAS, Emergency response times may range from seven to ten
minutes or longer, underscoring the importance of equipping bystanders
with the knowledge and confidence to intervene effectively; and

 WHEREAS, In mass casualty incidents, as many as 80 percent of
victims are transported to hospitals by private citizens, further
demonstrating the vital role of public preparedness; and

 WHEREAS, Through hands-on training programs such as the Bleeding
Control Basic (B-Con) course, Stop the Bleed has successfully trained
tens of thousands of individuals across the United States and
internationally, including law enforcement personnel, first responders,
and civilian bystanders; and

 WHEREAS, The Stop the Bleed campaign represents a nationwide call to
action to improve survivability by promoting widespread access to
training and bleeding control resources; and

 WHEREAS, Increasing public awareness and participation in Stop the
Bleed training will strengthen community resilience and save lives
across New York State; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026, as Stop the
Bleed Month in the State of New York, in conjunction with the observance
of National Stop the Bleed Month; 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.
