Bill > S03501

This bill dedicates a specific portion of the Long Island Expressway (specifically between exit 59 and exit 61 in the town of Brookhaven, Suffolk County) as a memorial to the 9-11 Fallen Firefighters. The New York State Department of Transportation will be required to install and maintain signage along this highway segment that reads "Highway Dedicated to 9-11 Fallen Firefighters". Importantly, the bill specifies that this is a ceremonial dedication, meaning the official highway name will not change, and the goal is to honor the firefighters who lost their lives during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks without causing confusion or disrupting local commerce. The act would take effect immediately upon passage, allowing for prompt recognition of these heroic first responders by creating a visible, lasting memorial on a major state highway.
