Designates portion of State Highway Route 71 as "John Tarantino Highway."
This bill designates a 0.45-mile segment of State Highway Route 71 (from milepost 3.25 to 3.70) in Spring Lake Heights as the "John Tarantino Highway" to honor Angelo John Tarantino, a WWII veteran who served in major battles including D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge. The bill requires the Commissioner of Transportation to install signs bearing this designation but explicitly prohibits using state funds for the signs. Instead, the Department of Transportation may only accept private donations or grants from non-governmental organizations to cover sign production, installation, and maintenance costs. The bill takes immediate effect and serves as a ceremonial tribute to Mr. Tarantino's military service and community involvement.
