Bill > S00040

This bill dedicates a specific portion of State Route 28 in the village of Herkimer, Herkimer County, New York to War Dogs, a ceremonial designation that honors the service of military dogs. The section of highway begins at its intersection with Canal Access Road and continues northerly until its intersection with State Route 5. While the highway will be symbolically dedicated to War Dogs, the bill specifies that this is a ceremonial designation and will not change the official name of the highway. The New York State Department of Transportation will be responsible for installing and maintaining signs along this highway segment that will read "Bridge Dedicated to War Dogs", with the intent of recognizing and commemorating the contributions of dogs in military service while ensuring minimal disruption to local commerce. The act will take effect immediately upon passage.
