Bill > S05446

This bill proposes to dedicate a specific portion of the state highway system in New York State to Specialist Jason Johnston. Specifically, the legislation targets the section of state route 31-A from its intersection with Powerline Road to its intersection with state route 98 in the town of Albion, Orleans County. The Commissioner of Transportation is required to install and maintain highway signs that will read "Highway Dedicated to Specialist Jason Johnston". However, the bill emphasizes that this is a ceremonial dedication, and the official name of the highway will not be legally changed. The signs are intended to honor Specialist Johnston while avoiding potential confusion or disruption to commerce. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage, creating a lasting memorial to recognize the specialist's service.
