Bill Summary

AN ACT in relation to directing the metropolitan transportation authority to rename the Eltingville transit center the Iraq War and Afghanistan War Veterans' Memorial Transit Center; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof

AI Summary

This bill directs the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to rename the Eltingville transit center to the "Iraq War and Afghanistan War Veterans' Memorial Transit Center" after sufficient funds have been specifically committed for this purpose. The MTA and New York City Transit Authority are required to update all signs and related items to reflect the new name within ten months of the commitment of funds. The bill will take effect immediately and will be automatically repealed once the signage and related materials have been updated. To ensure proper documentation, the chief executive officer of the MTA or president of the New York City Transit Authority must notify the legislative bill drafting commission upon completion of the name change updates. This legislation serves as a way to honor veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars by permanently recognizing their service through the renaming of a public transit facility.
