Bill > A08899

This bill dedicates a specific portion of the state highway system in Nassau County—specifically the bridge on the Meadowbrook state parkway at the Exit M10, Loop Parkway overpass in the town of Hempstead—to honor "Trooper Edward J. Sweeney". The bill requires the commissioner of transportation to install and maintain appropriate signage to recognize this dedication. However, the bill explicitly states that this is a ceremonial designation and will not actually change the official name of the bridge or disrupt local commerce. The purpose appears to be to memorialize and recognize Trooper Sweeney's service, though the specific details of his service or contributions are not provided in the bill text. The legislation will take effect immediately upon passage, allowing for prompt implementation of the highway system dedication.
