Dedicates a portion of the state highway system to 9-11 Fallen Firefighters
This bill designates a specific segment of the Long Island Expressway (between exits 59 and 61 in Brookhaven, Suffolk County) as a ceremonial tribute to firefighters who died on September 11, 2001. It requires the installation of signage reading "Highway Dedicated to 9-11 Fallen Firefighters" but explicitly states the official highway name will not change. The dedication is purely symbolic, with no policy or administrative changes to the highway system. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
