A05863 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A5863
 
SPONSOR: Stern
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the highway law, in relation to designating a portion of the state highway system as the "Port Authority Police Officer Steven J. Tursellino Memorial Highway"   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: Designates a portion of the state highway system as the "Port Authority Police Officer Steven J. Tursellino Memorial Highway"   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: amends the highway law by adding a new section 344-o. Section 2: states that the commissioner of transportation shall provide for the installation and maintenance of adequate signing of the state highway system as designated pursuant to section one of this act. Section 3: sets the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: Port Authority Police Officer Steven J. Tursellino passed away on September 13, 2013, at the age of 45. Officer Tursellino died as a result of cancer he developed following his assignment to the search and recovery efforts at the World Trade Center after the September 11th terrorist attacks. Officer Tursellino, who was originally sworn in as a member of the NYPD, spent the majority of his 20-year career with the Port Authority Police Department. He left behind his beloved wife Lisa and four children Jake, Ryan, Regan and Thomas. Officer Tursellino resided in Hauppauge in the County of Suffolk. Renaming a portion of the state highway system in Officer Tursellino's hometown would be a fitting honor and a way to recognize the supreme sacrifice he made on behalf of the residents of the Great State of New York.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Minimal.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
