A 10171 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Changes the dedication of the bridge dedicated to Detective Thomas M. Inman

This bill (A 10171) amends commemorative signage for a bridge on the Southern State Parkway in Babylon, Suffolk County, to include Detective Thomas M. Inman's middle initial on the dedication plaque. It requires transportation officials to install signs stating "Bridge Dedicated to Detective Thomas M. Inman" but explicitly clarifies this is purely ceremonial. The bill does not change the bridge's official name or legal designation. The change affects signage only and has no impact on transportation records or operations.

MINOR

The bill was amended to formally link this legislation with a previous 2025 law regarding the dedication of a highway segment to Detective Thomas Inman. The primary change is the addition of a new section that explicitly amends the earlier law to specify the exact wording for the bridge signage, ensuring consistency across both legal documents.

Scope change

The bill's scope was expanded to include an amendment to a separate chapter of the laws (Chapter 398 of 2025), creating a cohesive legal framework for the dedication rather than treating the two acts as isolated events.

REQUIREMENT

Added a new Section 2 that explicitly references and amends Section 2 of Chapter 398 of the laws of 2025, ensuring the dedication language is consistent between the two acts.

TECHNICAL

Updated the bill title and header to reflect that it amends both the Highway Law and the 2025 Chapter 398, and changed the committee status to indicate the bill was discharged, amended, and recommitted.
