Commending Eric VanAuken upon the occasion of his designation as recipient of a Liberty Medal, the highest honor bestowed upon an individual by the New York State Senate

This is a ceremonial Senate resolution (J 13), not a legislative bill with policy changes. It formally honors Eric VanAuken for being awarded the New York State Senate's Liberty Medal - the Senate's highest honor for heroic acts. The resolution details VanAuken's lifesaving actions in August 2024 when he assisted a non-swimming coworker who nearly drowned at Lake George, working with a sailing instructor to rescue and provide CPR until emergency services arrived. The resolution resolves to commend VanAuken publicly and send him a copy of the resolution.
