Bill > S04622

This bill designates a specific bridge on Bay Shore Road in the town of Islip, Suffolk County, as the "Trooper Fabio Buttitta Memorial Bridge". The bill amends the highway law to officially recognize this portion of the state highway system, which crosses over the Southern State Parkway, with the memorial name. The New York State Department of Transportation will be responsible for installing and maintaining appropriate signage to mark the bridge. Importantly, the bill specifies that this is a ceremonial designation only, meaning the official administrative name of the bridge will not change, and the memorial naming is intended to honor the memory of Trooper Fabio Buttitta without causing confusion or disrupting local commerce. The act will take effect immediately upon passage.
