MINOR
The bill was amended to remove the dedication of a bridge to Trooper Gerard B. Kane, leaving only a dedication to Trooper Arthur A. Reddy. This change reflects a decision to honor only one individual rather than two, likely due to the discovery of new information regarding the circumstances of the first trooper's death or a legislative choice to focus the memorial on a single recipient.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed from dedicating a bridge to two troopers to dedicating it to only one trooper.
SCOPE

The name of Trooper Gerard B. Kane was removed from the dedication of the bridge over the Southern State Parkway.

The bill text was updated to reflect that only Trooper Arthur A. Reddy is the sole recipient of the bridge dedication.
