Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 2026, as STOP THE BLEED Month in the State of New York
This bill asks the Governor of New York to officially recognize May 2026 as "STOP THE BLEED Month" to raise awareness about preventing death from uncontrolled bleeding. The resolution highlights that bleeding is a leading cause of preventable death and encourages citizens to learn life-saving techniques to help victims before professional emergency responders arrive. By designating this month, the bill aims to promote the availability of trauma kits and training programs that teach the public how to use tourniquets and other tools effectively. The measure does not create new laws or funding but serves as a formal declaration to support an existing public health initiative.
