Dedicates a portion of the state highway system to 2LT Edward Dixon Neal
This bill dedicates a specific bridge on New York State Route 20A over Tonawanda Creek (bridge #1016130 in Sheldon, Wyoming County) to 2LT Edward Dixon Neal through ceremonial signage. The commissioner of transportation must install and maintain signs stating "Bridge Dedicated to 2LT Edward Dixon Neal," but the bridge's official name remains unchanged. The dedication is explicitly described as ceremonial with no impact on official highway designations or commerce. This is a commemorative measure honoring an individual, not a policy change affecting laws or regulations.

Additionally, the text of the act was slightly rephrased to improve clarity by removing the specific designation 'New York' before 'state route' and reordering the description of the bridge's location.
