Bill > A08237

This bill dedicates a specific portion of New York State Route 35 in Westchester County to Purple Heart Recipients. The designated section of the highway 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 will be responsible for installing and maintaining signage along this highway segment that reads "Highway Dedicated to Westchester Purple Heart Recipients". The bill specifically clarifies that this is a ceremonial dedication, meaning the official name of the highway will not change, and the designation is intended to honor local Purple Heart Recipients—service members who have been wounded or killed in combat—without causing confusion or disrupting local commerce. The act will take effect immediately upon passage.
