Dedicates a portion of the state highway system to LTJG Brock Wendel Yates
This bill dedicates a specific bridge (NY State Route 19, bridge #3320070) in Perry, Wyoming County, to LTJG Brock Wendel Yates via ceremonial signage. The legislation requires installing signs stating "Bridge Dedicated to LTJG Brock Wendel Yates" but explicitly states the bridge's official name will not change, ensuring no disruption to transportation operations or commerce. It is a purely symbolic gesture with no policy or legal changes to highway management.
