Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the highway law, in relation to dedicating a portion of the state highway system to Sgt Henry Johnson
AI Summary
This bill dedicates the Interstate 90 bridge (Bridge Number 1092839) that crosses the Hudson River between the cities of Albany and Rensselaer to Sgt Henry Johnson, a notable military servicemember. The bill requires the New York State Department of Transportation to install and maintain signage indicating the bridge's dedication, with the signs to read "Bridge Dedicated to Sgt Henry Johnson". Importantly, the bill specifies that this is a ceremonial dedication and will not officially change the bridge's legal name or alter its current operational status. The purpose appears to be honoring Sgt Henry Johnson's service by memorializing his name on this specific infrastructure landmark. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, allowing for prompt installation of the commemorative signage.
