Introduced Session

This bill designates Interstate Route 280 in the Township of West Orange as the "Governor Brendan Byrne Memorial Highway" to honor the memory of Governor Brendan T. Byrne. Through his extensive career in public service, Governor Byrne made numerous contributions to the State and served with integrity in each position. Governor Byrne was essential to the establishment of professional sports teams in the Meadowlands and to the passage of several important laws. The Legislature honors Governor Byrne's steadfast dedication to the people of the State of New Jersey, his extensive career in public service, and his many contributions to the State. Consistent with Department of Transportation policy and other road designations, the bill provides that State or other public funds are not to be used for producing, purchasing, or erecting signs bearing the designation for the "Governor Brendan Byrne Memorial Highway." The Commissioner of Transportation is authorized to receive financial assistance from private sources for the costs associated with producing, purchasing, erecting, and maintaining signs bearing the designation.
