MINOR

The bill was amended to change the language from 'designating' a bridge as a memorial to 'dedicating' it to the trooper, removing the specific term 'Memorial Bridge' and replacing it with the trooper's name alone. This reflects a shift in how the tribute is formally recognized on the Wantagh State Parkway overpass.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on the same location (Wantagh State Parkway overpass at Merrick Road in Hempstead, Nassau County), but the formal designation language was modified.

DEFINITION

Changed the legal terminology from 'designating' to 'dedicating' and removed the specific title 'Memorial Bridge' in favor of simply dedicating the structure to Trooper Edward L. Cunningham.

REQUIREMENT

Updated related provisions to reflect the new terminology, changing references from 'designated pursuant to section one' to 'dedicated pursuant to section one' throughout the bill text.
