Dear President Pollack,   It is my pleasure to convey to you Student Assembly Resolution #29: Extension to Good Samaritan Laws. This resolution asks that New York State’s Good Samaritan Laws be extended to not only students at high levels of risk, but any student or guest that needs assistance in the event that emergency support is called in.   Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns! Thank you.    Best, Cat --
