 IN ASSEMBLY

 May 1, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. McDONOUGH -- 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 William Cornell

 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 345-d to
 2 read as follows:
 3 § 345-d. Portion of state highway system to be dedicated to William
 4 Cornell. The walking path on the northbound side of the Wantagh State
 5 Parkway from route twenty-seven to Jerusalem Avenue in the hamlet of
 6 Wantagh, town of Hempstead, county of Nassau, shall be dedicated to
 7 William Cornell.
 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 signing shall state "William Cornell memorial trail". However, to avoid
 12 confusion and to limit any possible disruption of commerce, the dedi-
 13 cation called for pursuant to section one of this act shall be one of
 14 ceremonial nature and the official name of such walking trail shall not
 15 be changed as a result of this act.
 16 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
