New York Codes, Rules and Regulations › Title 9 - EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT › Subtitle A - Governor's Office › Chapter I - Executive Orders › Part 4 - Executive Orders (Mario M. Cuomo) › Section 4.35 - Executive order no. 35: establishing the governor's advisory council on highway safety

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
WHEREAS, traffic accidents and the resulting human
					 suffering and economic loss for all New Yorkers continue to be a major public
					 safety problem. Each year more than 2,000 persons are killed on our highways
					 and several hundred thousand more are seriously injured. In addition, wage
					 losses alone amount to billions of dollars annually, and hospital care for
					 automobile crash victims costs New Yorkers additional tens of millions of
					 dollars of each year.
WHEREAS, both the private and public sectors in the State
					 have a significant interest in reducing tragic personal and property losses
					 attributable to traffic accidents and have demonstrated a willingness to
					 cooperate with the agencies of State government for the promotion of highway
					 safety.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Mario M. Cuomo, Governor of the State of
					 New York, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the
					 Laws of the State of New York, do hereby order as follows:
I. Governor's Advisory Council on Highway
				  Safety.
There is hereby created within the Executive Department a
					 council to be known as the Governor's Advisory Council on Highway Safety (the
					 "Council"). The members of the Council shall be appointed by the Governor. The
					 Commissioner of Motor Vehicles shall serve as Chairman of the Council. The
					 members of the Council shall receive no compensation, but shall be entitled to
					 reimbursement for any necessary expenses incurred in connection with the
					 performance of their duties.
II. Purpose and Responsibilities of the
				  Council.
The Council shall foster the development of highway and
					 traffic safety training, education and assistance programs in the private
					 sector work force in the State of New York. The Council shall assist and advise
					 the Governor by assessing present efforts in the private sector in the field of
					 highway safety; advising State government agencies on highway safety problems
					 and priorities; seeking innovative approaches to highway safety that might be
					 implemented under private sector auspices; bringing key traffic safety issues
					 to public attention; and encouraging and assisting major employers and other
					 groups in the State to develop their own programs to reduce traffic deaths and
					 injuries. The Council shall report its recommendations to the Governor annually
					 by December 15th of each year.
III. Executive Order No. 121, dated September
				  28, 1982, is revoked and superseded by this Executive Order.
