J 1291 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Commending Danielle Johnson 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 Senate Resolution (J 1291) is a ceremonial honor recognizing Danielle Johnson, a Barneveld nurse, for saving a man's life at a Buffalo Bills game on September 18, 2025. It commends her after she administered CPR when the man collapsed, restoring his pulse before emergency staff arrived. The resolution formally awards her the New York State Senate Liberty Medal - the Senate’s highest individual honor for humanitarian acts - and directs a copy of the resolution to be sent to her. This is a symbolic gesture with no policy changes or direct impact on legislation or affected parties.
