Bill > S05172

This bill amends multiple sections of New York state law to rename the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge to the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Tappan Zee Bridge in various legal references, including sections of the public authorities law, environmental conservation law, and highway law. The bill modifies references to the bridge in descriptions of the Hudson section of the state thruway, marine and coastal districts, shellfish land examinations, and the designation of the "Jewish War Veterans Memorial Highway". Additionally, the bill directs the commissioner of transportation to install and maintain appropriate signage on the state highway system to reflect these name changes. The changes appear to be primarily administrative, updating the bridge's name across different statutes while maintaining its existing geographical and infrastructural significance. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, ensuring a quick implementation of the name change.
