A 7612 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Dedicates a portion of the state highway system to "De La Soul"

This bill (A 7612) proposes a ceremonial dedication of a specific segment of State Route 110 in Babylon, Suffolk County, to "De La Soul Way." It requires installing commemorative signage for the portion between Smith Street and Great Neck Road but explicitly states the highway's official name will remain unchanged. The bill has no substantive policy impact on transportation, traffic, or funding - it is purely symbolic. The measure is currently pending in the Transportation Committee.
