Bill > S07100

This bill renames the Oakwood Beach wetland in Richmond County, New York, to the Oakwood Beach-Detective Russel Timoshenko Preserve. The legislation requires that the area, which is currently managed by the Department of Environmental Conservation, be officially renamed and appropriately marked with new signage as directed by the commissioner of environmental conservation. The bill appears to be a symbolic gesture to honor Detective Russel Timoshenko, likely a law enforcement officer who may have had a significant connection to the area or who may have died in the line of duty. The renaming will take effect immediately upon the bill's passage, and no other substantive changes are made to the management or characteristics of the wetland preserve.
