Dedicates a portion of the state highway system to Westchester Purple Heart Recipients

This bill (A 8237) designates a specific segment of State Route 35 in Westchester County (from US Route 202 to Route 100 in Somers) as a ceremonial dedication to Westchester Purple Heart Recipients. The law requires the transportation commissioner to install and maintain signs reading "Highway Dedicated to Westchester Purple Heart Recipients" along this route. Crucially, the bill clarifies this is purely symbolic - no official highway name change will occur, and the dedication is intended to avoid disrupting commerce. It does not alter traffic regulations or create new benefits for recipients. The bill was signed into law on September 10, 2025.
