Dedicates a portion of the state highway system to Jake Arcara
This bill (S 7706) is a ceremonial dedication that names a specific segment of State Route 118 in Yorktown, Westchester County (from Underhill Avenue to Old Country Way) as "Highway Dedicated to Jake Arcara." It requires installing and maintaining ceremonial signs with that exact wording but explicitly states the highway’s official name will not change. The bill has no policy or funding provisions - it is purely commemorative and procedural. (Note: As a ceremonial resolution, this summary is concise per guidelines.)
