Relates to dedicating a portion of the state highway system to Specialist Jason Johnston
This bill (A 6643) designates a specific segment of State Route 31-A in Albion (from Powerline Road to Route 98) as a ceremonial tribute to Specialist Jason Johnston. It requires the state transportation commissioner to install and maintain commemorative signs reading "Highway Dedicated to Specialist Jason Johnston" along this route. The dedication is purely symbolic - no official highway name change occurs, and the bill explicitly states it is "one of ceremonial nature" to avoid disrupting commerce. The bill does not alter highway management or create new legal requirements beyond signage.
