Enacts the stop highway community harm act

Added a legislative finding section explicitly linking the bill to the history of racist urban planning and the specific harms caused by the Cross Bronx Expressway.

Defined 'environmental justice' and 'environmental justice community' to include areas bearing disproportionate pollution and climate change burdens based on race, color, religion, national origin, or income.

Expanded the list of protected areas where highway lane increases are prohibited to include 'environmental justice communities' in addition to public housing developments and high-asthma zip codes.

Required a formal safety and alternatives analysis, including a review of crash data and induced demand, before any waiver can be granted for projects in protected areas.

Changed the waiver notice period from an unspecified time to a mandatory minimum of sixty days prior to the commissioner's determination.
