Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2025, as Bullying Prevention Month in the State of New York

Assembly Resolution 323 requests Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 2025 as Bullying Prevention Month in New York State, aligning with National Bullying Prevention Month. This non-binding resolution does not create new laws or policies but aims to raise public awareness about bullying prevention. It encourages community efforts to address bullying, which the resolution notes affects nearly 30% of students and causes 160,000 students to skip school daily due to fear. The resolution has been adopted by the Assembly and will be transmitted to the Governor for consideration.
