 ___________

 Introduced by COMMITTEE ON RULES -- (at request of M. of A. Bendett) --
 read once and referred to the Committee on Transportation

 AN ACT to amend the highway law, in relation to dedicating a portion of
 the state highway system to Patrick LaFortune Jr.

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The highway law is amended by adding a new section 344-s to
 2 read as follows:
 3 § 344-s. Portion of the state highway system to be dedicated to
 4 Patrick LaFortune Jr. All that portion of the state highway system
 5 constituting state route nine-W beginning where such state route crosses
 6 the town line from the city of Albany into the town of Bethlehem, county
 7 of Albany, and extending until the intersection of such state route and
 8 Moriah road in the town of Bethlehem, county of Albany, shall be dedi-
 9 cated to Patrick LaFortune Jr.
 10 § 2. The commissioner of transportation shall provide for the instal-
 11 lation and maintenance of adequate signing of the state highway system
 12 as dedicated pursuant to section one of this act, provided that such
 13 signing shall state "Highway Dedicated to Patrick LaFortune Jr". Howev-
 14 er, to avoid confusion and to limit any possible disruption of commerce,
 15 the dedication called for pursuant to section one of this act shall be
 16 one of ceremonial nature and the official name of such highway shall not
 17 be changed as a result of this act.
 18 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.

 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
