Commending Leigha Walker upon the occasion of her designation as recipient of a Liberty Medal, the highest honor bestowed upon an individual by the New York State Senate
This bill is a Senate resolution that formally commends Leigha Walker, a high school student and Subway employee, for receiving the New York State Senate Liberty Medal. The document details her heroic actions on June 9, 2024, when she helped save a man's life after his truck crashed into the restaurant where she worked. Walker called emergency services, broke the truck's window to access the victim, and performed CPR until medical personnel arrived. The resolution serves to recognize her bravery and humanitarian efforts rather than changing any laws or policies.
