Dedicates portion of the state highway system to "Detective Brian C. Mulkeen"
This bill dedicates a specific bridge on State Route 6 crossing State Route 32 in Woodbury, Orange County, to honor Detective Brian C. Mulkeen through commemorative signage. It requires the Commissioner of Transportation to install and maintain signage stating "Highway Dedicated to Detective Brian C. Mulkeen" but clarifies the dedication is purely ceremonial with no change to the bridge's official name. The bill does not alter transportation laws or infrastructure, only adding temporary commemorative markers. It takes effect immediately upon passage.
