Bill > S06930

This bill dedicates a specific portion of State Route 35 in Westchester County to Purple Heart Recipients, a designation of honor for military service members wounded in combat. Specifically, the legislation covers the segment of Route 35 that begins at its intersection with US Route 202 and continues easterly until its intersection with State Route 100 in the town of Somers. The New York State Department of Transportation is required to install and maintain highway signs that read "Highway Dedicated to Westchester Purple Heart Recipients", though the bill emphasizes that this is a ceremonial designation and will not officially change the highway's name or disrupt local commerce. The act is designed to recognize and pay tribute to local service members who have been injured while serving in the United States military, and it will take effect immediately upon passage.
