Bill > S06952

This bill dedicates a specific bridge on the South Service Road in Queens, New York, which crosses over the Van Wyck Expressway, to two Port Authority Police Officers named Arthur M. Ansert Jr. and William J. Leahy. The bill requires the New York State Commissioner of Transportation, in collaboration with the executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, to install and maintain signage identifying the bridge as dedicated to these two officers. Importantly, the dedication is purely ceremonial, meaning the official name of the bridge will not change, and the signage is designed to avoid confusion or disruption to local commerce. The legislation aims to honor these specific Port Authority Police Officers by memorializing their service through the bridge dedication. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage.
