A03347 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A3347A
 
SPONSOR: Smith
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the highway law, in relation to dedicating a portion of the state highway system to 9-11 Fallen Firefighters   PURPOSE: To designate a portion of the Long Island Expressway as the 9-11 Fallen Firefighter Memorial Highway   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 adds a new section 344-n to the highway law by designating the area between exits 59 and 61 on the Long Island Expressway as the "9-1-1 Fallen Firefighter Memorial Highway." Section 2 provides, that the naming in section 1 shall be ceremonial in nature and shall not change the official name of the highway. Section 3 sets forth an Immediate effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: On September 11, 2001, our Nation was attacked and thousands of innocent civilians lost their lives. Planes were hijacked to be used as weapons, two of which collided with the World Trade Center in New York City, another attacked the Pentagon, and another crashed into rural Pennsylva- nia due to the heroic actions of those on board that flight. While the WTC was smoldering, countless first responders ran to the wreckage to Save lives, many of whom lost their lives in the process. Of the 2,977 victims who died on 9/11, 343 were firefighters with the NYC Fire Department. We will never forget the memories of those firefighters and other first responders who courageously responded to the WTC attack and tragically lost their lives. This bill would honor those firefighters who lost their lives on 9-11 and who continue to lose their lives year after year, particularly those who lived on Long Island, by designating a portion of the Long Island Expressway between exits 59 and 61 in Suffolk County in their honor.   LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2024: A5546 - Referred to Transportation   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Minimal.   EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately.

     3    §  344-r.  Portion of the state highway system to be dedicated to 9-11
     4  Fallen Firefighters.   All that portion  of  the  state  highway  system
     5  constituting  the  Long Island Expressway between exit 59 and exit 61 in
     6  the town of Brookhaven, county of Suffolk, shall be  dedicated  to  9-11
     7  Fallen Firefighters.
     8    §  2. The commissioner of transportation shall provide for the instal-
     9  lation and maintenance of adequate signing of the state  highway  system
    10  as  dedicated  pursuant  to  section one of this act, provided that such
    11  signage shall state "Highway Dedicated  to  9-11  Fallen  Firefighters".
    12  However,  to  avoid  confusion  and  to limit any possible disruption of
    13  commerce, the dedication called for pursuant to section one of this  act

    15  shall not be changed as a result of this act.
