Proclamation - Child Passenger Safety Month

WHEREAS, our children are our most valuable resource and the foundation of North Dakota's future; and

WHEREAS, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death and injury to North Dakota children younger than 18 years of age; and

WHEREAS, the use of car safety seats, booster seats and seat belts can greatly increase the chances of surviving a motor vehicle crash; and

WHEREAS, North Dakotans are encouraged to ensure that all children are appropriately buckled up every time they ride in a motor vehicle.

NOW, THEREFORE, as Governor of the State of North Dakota, I do hereby proclaim February 2006, CHILD PASSENGER SAFETY MONTH in the state of North Dakota.
