Bill Summary

AN ACT directing the metropolitan transportation authority to rename the Nostrand Avenue train station on the Long Island Rail Road to the Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters at Nostrand Avenue station; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof

AI Summary

This bill directs the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), a public benefit corporation responsible for public transportation in the New York City metropolitan area, to rename the Nostrand Avenue train station on the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) in Brooklyn to the "Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters at Nostrand Avenue station." The renaming can only occur after sufficient funds are specifically committed for this purpose. The MTA must update all signs and related materials to reflect the new station name, and this renaming will not impact any existing contracts, permits, or agreements that reference the original station name. The bill will take effect immediately and will be automatically repealed after the signs and other items are updated. The chief executive of the MTA or president of the New York City Transit Authority must notify the legislative bill drafting commission once the updates are completed, to ensure accurate record-keeping of state laws. This appears to be a specific, symbolic gesture to recognize the Chabad Lubavitch community's significance in the area.
