SENATE AMENDMENTS TO S.C.R. 1018
(Reference to printed resolution)
Page 1, before line 1, insert:
"Whereas, service to others is a hallmark of the American character and is central to how we meet our challenges; and
Whereas, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is a global health emergency that has led to unprecedented economic disruption; and
Whereas, it is recognized that some employees are essential and must continue to work in person to protect the strength and well-being of our communities, regardless of the circumstances that we are presented with; and
Whereas, employees in health care, grocery stores, post offices, social services, law enforcement, emergency services, emergency communications and many other professions and occupations have been considered essential workers during the pandemic; and
Whereas, the widespread implementation of stay-at-home measures and restrictions on many categories of businesses produced a surge in demand for delivery services, with its effects felt at every link in the supply chain; and
Whereas, essential workers are keeping the critical parts of our economy running during the fight against COVID-19; and
Whereas, while many workers have been told to stay home, these essential workers have a responsibility during the outbreak to continue operations, putting them at greater risk of contracting the virus.
Therefore"
Strike everything after the resolving clause and insert:
"That the Members of the Legislature express their sincere gratitude to the essential employees who are working tirelessly during this pandemic."
