A RESOLUTION | Recognizing Bike Helmet Safety Awareness Week, May 9-18, 2014. |

| WHEREAS, The safety of Ohio's youth is of paramount importance. Declared by Governor John R. Kasich, Bike Helmet Safety Awareness Week calls attention to the need to wear helmets while using bicycles, skateboards, rollerblades, and scooters; therefore be it |
| RESOLVED, That we, the members of the Senate of the 130th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, recognize May 9-18, 2014, as Bike Helmet Safety Awareness Week and encourage the use of helmets; and be it further |
