Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, declare the month of May 2001, as "South Carolina Highway Safety Month" throughout the State, encourage public and private agencies, organizations, and individuals to join together to raise public awareness regarding the importance of highway safety, and encourage all South Carolinians to work together to ensure the safety of our citizens on South Carolina's highways.
