Bill > S07154

This bill amends multiple sections of New York state law to officially designate September 11th Remembrance Day as a public holiday. Specifically, the bill updates several existing laws - including the general construction law, transportation law, vehicle and traffic law, and personal property law - to add September 11th Remembrance Day to the list of recognized business holidays and public holidays. This means that September 11th will now be considered alongside other significant days like Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veterans' Day. By including September 11th in these various legal definitions of "business day" and "public holiday", the bill ensures that the day will be formally recognized across different areas of state law, likely as a way to honor the victims and remember the tragic events of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The changes are technical in nature, primarily involving inserting the phrase "September 11th Remembrance Day" into existing lists of holidays, and the act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
