Bill > A09236

This bill directs the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and the New York City Transit Authority to rename the 79th Street subway station to the 79th Street - Saul Zabar station, contingent upon sufficient funds being specifically committed for this purpose. The bill requires the MTA to update all signs and other items to reflect the new station name. The renaming is specifically for the 79th Street subway station on the IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue line of the New York City subway system. Once the signs and items are updated, the chief executive officer of the MTA or president of the New York City Transit Authority must notify the legislative bill drafting commission about the completion of the updates. The act will take effect immediately and will be automatically repealed after the station name and associated materials are updated, ensuring that the name change is implemented and then the legislative action is concluded.
