Dedicates a portion of the state highway system to Robert Bornt
This bill dedicates a specific bridge (bridge number 1000250 on State Route 2 crossing State Route 22 in Petersburg, Rensselaer County) to Fire Chief Robert Bornt through commemorative signage. The dedication is ceremonial only, meaning the bridge's official name remains unchanged. The bill requires the Commissioner of Transportation to install and maintain a sign stating "Bridge Dedicated to Fire Chief Robert Bornt" without altering the bridge's official designation.

The scope of the dedication remains the same, but the specific title used for the honoree was modified.
