Bill > S03509

This bill amends the New York state highway law to create a plan for renaming bridges in the state highway system after New York state's Medal of Honor recipients. The proposed plan requires that the renamed bridges be located as close as possible to the homes of the honored recipients. The bill specifies that the renaming will be ceremonial, meaning the official bridge names will not actually change, and it mandates the installation and maintenance of appropriate signage. The plan will be implemented on a schedule that considers existing signs and aims to minimize potential confusion or disruption to local commerce. The signage will serve to honor and recognize the Medal of Honor recipients by commemorating their service and sacrifice near their home communities. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
