S 4615 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Dedicates a portion of the state highway system to Charlie Bunger Sr.

This bill would ceremonially dedicate a section of Montauk Highway (State Route 27-A) in Babylon, Suffolk County, to Charlie Bunger Sr. It specifies the segment from Deer Park Avenue to Totten Place, with no change to the highway's official name. The bill requires installing commemorative signs reading "Highway Dedicated to Charlie Bunger Sr." but explicitly states the dedication is ceremonial and won't disrupt commerce or alter the highway's legal designation. It is a procedural, commemorative measure with no policy impact on transportation or road management.
