 4 Soul". All that portion of the state highway system constituting state
 5 route 110 between Smith Street and Great Neck Road in the Town of Baby-
 6 lon, county of Suffolk, shall be dedicated to "De La Soul".
 7 § 2. The commissioner of transportation shall provide for the instal-
 8 lation and maintenance of adequate signing of the state highway system
 9 as dedicated pursuant to section one of this act. However, to avoid
 10 confusion and to limit any possible disruption of commerce, the dedi-
 11 cation called for pursuant to section one of this act shall be one of
 12 ceremonial nature and the official name of such highway shall not be
 13 changed as a result of this act.
 14 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
