Designates a portion of the state highway system as the Sergeant James S. Hayes Memorial Highway
This bill designates a specific segment of State Route 14 in Yates County (from Plum Point Road in Milo to Main Street in Dresden) as the "Sergeant James S. Hayes Memorial Highway" for ceremonial purposes. It requires commemorative signage stating "Highway Dedicated to Sergeant James S. Hayes" but explicitly states this is purely symbolic - no official highway name change occurs, and it won't disrupt commerce or navigation. The bill serves as a tribute to Sergeant Hayes without altering transportation infrastructure or regulations.
