A 2656 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to creating a bridge suicide barrier fund

This bill creates a dedicated state fund to research installing suicide barriers on bridges. The fund, managed by the state comptroller and tax commissioner, can only be used to study how to add barriers when building new bridges or replacing existing bridges that have had suicide attempts. It does not require barrier installation, only research into the feasibility and design of such barriers for specific bridge projects. The bill directly affects state bridge planning processes for projects involving bridges with documented suicide histories.
