Bill > A04237

This bill dedicates a specific portion of the state highway system in Nassau County, New York to Trooper James M. MacLarnon. Specifically, the legislation targets the southbound Wantagh State Parkway overpass that crosses the Southern State Parkway in the town of Hempstead. The New York State Department of Transportation will be required to install and maintain a sign on this highway segment that reads "Bridge Dedicated to Trooper James M. MacLarnon". Importantly, the bill specifies that this is a ceremonial dedication, meaning the official name of the bridge will not change and there will be no disruption to commerce or traffic. The act will take effect immediately upon passage, allowing for prompt recognition of Trooper MacLarnon's service. While the bill does not provide details about MacLarnon's specific contributions or background, such memorial dedications are typically used to honor individuals who have made significant contributions to public service, potentially through law enforcement or community involvement.
