Bill > A05066

This bill amends the public authorities law to ceremonially dedicate the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Mid-Hudson bridge to Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. Specifically, the legislation requires the chairperson of the New York State Bridge Authority to install and maintain appropriate signage recognizing the dedication, while explicitly stating that this is a ceremonial designation only and will not officially change the bridge's legal name. The bill ensures that any signage will be implemented in a manner that avoids potential confusion or disruption to commerce. By highlighting both Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, the bill recognizes the significant historical contributions of this prominent political couple from New York, who were instrumental in shaping 20th-century American politics and social policy. The act will take effect immediately upon passage.
